About The Bronx Museum of the Arts

The Bronx Museum of the Arts sits on the Grand Concourse in the South Bronx, at 1040 Grand Concourse. Founded in 1971, it presents exhibitions centered on contemporary art and work from the 20th century, with a particular interest in artists connected to the Bronx and to wider American cultural life. Its permanent collection numbers 800-plus objects, spanning painting, sculpture, photography, and works on paper. The museum’s programming often reads like a public record of the borough’s changing ideas about community and representation.
