Keeping You Safe

The MAC has reopened and we can’t wait to welcome you to our galleries, theatres and Cafe Bar.

We’re excited to welcome you back to the MAC for all things arts and culture, and hope you’ll grab a coffee and a bun while you’re here too. Some things are different to how they were before; but others, such as the quality of our welcome, are just the same.

We’ve been working hard behind the scenes and making some changes to how we do things. We have carefully planned safety measures in place – keep scrolling for all the details. We’ve also ticketed our exhibitions to help us manage visitor numbers, and you can now book a table in MAC Cafe Bar online too.
