Museum of Conceptual Art

The Museum of Conceptual Art was founded in the 1970 by Tom Marioni, describing it as a "social artwork".[1] The museum moved into its official location on January 3, 1973 in San Francisco, California.[2] It was one of the three major centers for conceptual art in California in the 1970s,[3] and centered on the theory of conceptual art as "Art as Idea"[4] as well as featuring "life art".[5] The museum closed its doors in 1984.[6]
