Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture
The Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture (MAC) seeks to engage our audiences in the appreciation of art, history, and culture of the Inland Northwest and beyond through collection stewardship, exhibitions, and programs that enrich and inspire. Established in 1916, the MAC is the oldest cultural organization in Spokane, Washington, and serves visitors from Eastern Washington, northern Idaho, western Montana and southern British Columbia. The museum is located on a 4.5-acre campus in Spokane’s oldest neighborhood, Browne’s Addition, and features a mix of 4 historic and contemporary buildings, including historic Campbell House, a 13,000 square foot mansion built in 1898, as well as a 2001 state of the art gallery and education spaces. The permanent collection contains over 60,000 objects including works of art, historic objects, and art and material culture from regional tribes. The museum presents a dynamic variety of exhibitions and programs that attract around 100,000 visitors a year. In addition to hosting popular, nationally traveling exhibitions, the museum highlights regional artists through exhibitions, publications, and educational events.
