The Adama Toungara Museum of Contemporary Cultures is named after its founder, the former mayor of the commune of Abobo (2001 to 2018). MUCAT is a private museum, inaugurated in March 2020, and owned by the Adama Toungara Foundation. Its very contemporary architecture was designed by architect Issa Diabaté. It is the first museum in Côte d'Ivoire to be entirely dedicated to contemporary art.

MUCAT's mission is to develop awareness-raising initiatives about contemporary culture for individuals, families, and school groups, in order to help them better understand the role of the museum in its community. Its ambition is to move the arts beyond the realm of mere entertainment, inviting an ever-wider audience to open themselves to the world through the "lens" of MUCAT.

Covering an area of ​​3,500 m², it has a 400 m² exhibition hall and a second, L-shaped hall of 160 m². It also features a space dedicated to live performances, a recreational area, a gift shop, a library, a media library equipped with 14 computers, accessible with an annual subscription, as well as a 60-seat conference room, ideal for meetings, debates, and film screenings. It is open every day from 9:30 am to 6:00 pm, except on Mondays.

MUCAT offers high-quality temporary exhibitions throughout the year. These exhibitions, 16 to date, have attracted more than 100,000 visitors, approximately 70% of whom are from Abobo. To facilitate visits and allow visitors to better understand the exhibitions, we have chosen to provide tour guides for each exhibition to accompany visitors during guided tours. The aim is to make the projects more accessible and to foster a personal dialogue about the artists and the exhibitions.
