"The monumental show also marks an opportunity to celebrate the museum’s preeminent relationship with Duchamp — and its lasting legacy and impact on the modern art world. No other art institution in the world has deeper Duchamp roots than the PMA, where the artist first helped install his works in 1954."

Marcel Duchamp on view October 10.
$35 tickets, includes museum admission.
Members are always free.

Recognizing the French modernist’s boundary-busting potential, the museum offered what Marcel Duchamp wanted: space and control. Lots of it.

When a urinal changed art history.

Marcel Duchamp shook the art world up with his controversial readymade, Fountain (1917), that sparked outrage and arguments about what counts as art.

The signed porcelain urinal famously incited debate when it was anonymously submitted to an avant-garde art exhibition and then rejected.

So....is it art?

🏛️ Marcel Duchamp opens October 10.
🎟️ Tickets are on sale now. $35 includes admission to the exhibition and the museum.
🕝 Members get early access on October 9, with special opportunities to connect with the exhibition's curators throughout the day.

For Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month, Linda reflects on the histories she carries with her and how they continue to shape the artist and community member she is today.
