The opening of the CAC Malaga has created new possibilities in the cultural field of southern Spain, managing to become an international artistic benchmark.
The CAC Malaga museum is also a novelty in Spain by combining the modes of management of the private company with the ideals and objectives of the public sphere.
As they define on their website:
The CAC Malaga is the emblem of the Malaga City Council’s commitment to contemporary art, which aims to spread plastic and visual arts from the last third of the 20th century to the present.
