Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Sri Lanka

About

The Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Sri Lanka is a new education-led initiative that aims to establish a public museum dedicated to the display, research, collection and conservation of Sri Lankan modern and contemporary art.

Our priority is to create a museum that is compelling, inclusive and relevant to the art histories that are unique to the contexts of Sri Lanka.

In the coming years, the museum will be defined through a process of exploration into what a museum of the future can be, who it will serve and how it will function. Through a process of reflecting aloud and in collaboration with different audiences, we hope this initiative will provide the opportunity to think about the space of a museum in different ways.

How can we approach language, class and socio-economic barriers to ensure that we are more inclusive and reflective of the contexts in which we are located? What can we learn and adapt from museums around the world? How will we contribute to the changing role of museums today? We will continue to pose these questions and those like them, in the belief that the museum it gives rise to will be better because of it.
