The Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo ("University Museum of Contemporary Art"), also known as MUAC, is a large contemporary art museum on the campus of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). It opened in November 2008. The architect was Teodoro González de León, who also co-designed the National Auditorium (Auditorio Nacional), Reforma 222 and the Museo Rufino Tamayo. [2][3][4]
