MUSAC only collects artworks from the latest generation of artists, between 1992 and 2012. The museum has won international prestige for its 21st-century collection and for its innovative programming. The MUSAC building has been awarded a number of prizes such as the 2007 European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture. It was designed by the architectural of Luis M. Mansilla and Emilio Tuñón. The multicolored panels that adorn the exterior of the museum resemble the stained-glass windows of the cathedral.
