The MAC - Museum of Contemporary Art of Lissone, whose current exhibition space was inaugurated in 2000, is structured across three above-ground levels and a basement floor. The Museum houses a significant collection of works originating from the extraordinary journey of the historic Lissone Prize (1946-1967). Supported by the most esteemed international critics, the Lissone Prize became, during the 1950s and 1960s, a true benchmark for the most advanced artistic research on an international scale. From this activity, a fervent and pioneering twenty-year period, the Historical Collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art of Lissone was born, comprising works by Emilio Vedova, Piero Dorazio, Mauro Reggiani, Ennio Morlotti, Karel Appel, Antoni Tàpies, Francois Dufrêne, Emilio Scanavino, Achille Perilli, Renato Birolli, Mario Schifano, Theodor Werner, Gerard Schneider, Valerio Adami, Mattia Moreni, to name just a few. The museum's heritage also includes a collection of works by the Lissone-born artist Gino Meloni and a substantial section of recently acquired works. Alongside the exhibition of the Lissone Prize Collection, the MAC organizes annual temporary contemporary art exhibitions and regularly hosts cultural events such as performances, talks, book presentations, guided tours, and concerts. The museum also organizes the Lissone Art Prize, which alternates biennially with the Lissone Design Prize since 2007. Within the museum, a cultural mediation service is available for visitors, and on the ground floor, there is a book corner with books and catalogs available for free on-site consultation.
