The Contemporary Art and Design Museum (Museo de Arte y Diseño Contemporáneo or MADC in Spanish) is located on the premises of the Former National Liquor Factory, founded in 1856. This is one of the greatest architectural 
and patrimonial sites of Costa Rica and is located in an important historical area of downtown San Jose. Ancient FANAL after a radical restoration in the early nineties, became the National Culture Center (CENAC in Spanish).
The Contemporary Art and Design Museum, founded in 1994, is “an open and multiple space”. To achieve this ambitious idea, the museum promotes and disseminates on a permanent basis the most recent and dynamic trends of contemporary art and design within the Central American region as its links with the Latin American and international areas.
The museum has 5 exhibition halls, including one auditorium-room and an outdoor space, “Pila de la Melaza” (molasses pile), which is used for multi-events (performances, installations, music, etc). The museum also has a coffee-shop (Room 2), exhibiting and marketing innovative and attractive products by Costa Rican, Central American and international designers. The MADC has a video library and documentation center where you can consult a wide variety of audiovisual materials from Central American and international artists, ranging from documents to video presentations, performances, among others. The Museum also has a wide range of catalogs and art & design books, from the museum and other institutions.
