The former Museo Municipal de Arte Contemporáneo – now referred to as simply the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo or museosdemadrid. Arte Contemporáneo – is located in the historic barracks of the Conde Duque, a building designed by the architect Pedro de Ribera at the beginning of the 18th century. Similar to other contemporary art museums, both national and foreign, the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo has used a historic building to house the contemporary art collection, in this case of the Madrid city council. The Museum is further part of an ongoing programme of renovation to adapt it to use for cultural purposes.

The Museum showcases the works of art that the city council has been acquiring since 1980, the year in which the collection began. The Museum covers two floors over roughly 2,000 square metres. This space exhibits some 200 works by 177 artists from different periods and artistic tendencies in Spanish art, from the historic vanguards to date, through its collection of painting, sculpture, photography, graphic work and installations.

The Museum was inaugurated in November 2001 with two basic aims: to create a permanent forum in the context of a centre like the Conde Duque, open to an intense cultural and exhibition programme, and to complement the other museums and contemporary art collections in Madrid.
