The Missoula Art Museum is a free contemporary art museum in downtown Missoula, Montana.
From its Carnegie Library roots to a $5.3 million capital campaign that allowed MAM to seamlessly fuse its 100-year-old building with a contemporary addition, MAM has created the ideal environment for exhibiting, celebrating, and preserving the museum’s growing contemporary art collection. And with 45 years on the books, MAM is emerging as the leading contemporary art museum in the Intermountain West. MAM is an exceptional attraction in the heart of Missoula's historic downtown—a fully accessible, free, public museum that boasts eight exhibition spaces, a library, an education center, and an inviting information lounge. The museum recently expanded its footprint outdoors with the dedication of the newly constructed Art Park in 2017.
Situated on the traditional, ancestral territories of the Séliš (Salish or “Flathead”) and Qlispé (upper Kalispel or Pend d’Oreille) peoples, MAM is committed to respecting the indigenous stewards of the land it occupies. These rich cultures are fundamental to artistic life in Montana and to the work of MAM, including the Contemporary American Indian Art Collection.
