The Museum of Urban and Contemporary Art (MUCA) is an art museum in Munich, Germany. Founded by Stephanie and Christian Utz, it opened on 9 December 2016 in a former municipal electricity substation at Hotterstraße 12 in the city’s Altstadt district.

MUCA presents changing exhibitions of urban art and contemporary art across several sites, including the adjacent MUCA Bunker and the interim arts centre KUNSTLABOR 2 at Dachauer Straße 90 (approved in 2019; opened in 2021; authorisation to 2026). Notable exhibitions have included Damien Hirst: The Weight of Things (2023–2024), reviewed by the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and Wallpaper*, and artworks such as Banksy’s Girl Without Balloon in 2025.
