Museum of Contemporary Art and Design

The Museum of Contemporary Art and Design (MCAD) was designed by local architect Ed Calma and is the only space in the Philippines that approximates a gallery space and international contemporary art museum. 
MCAD’s programs were molded in line with the school’s courses: film, animation, fashion design, multi-media, architecture, photography, and music production. It produces outstanding exhibitions with worldwide standards by collaborating with professional curators and artists, both international and local.

The Museum of Contemporary Art and Design (MCAD) is a not-for-profit institution that continues to be the external face of De La Salle – College of Saint Benilde.
