MOMA WALES (Museum Of Modern Art, Wales) flourishes in four beautiful galleries alongside The Tabernacle, a former Wesleyan chapel which opened as a centre for the performing arts in 1986 in the historic market town of Machynlleth in Mid Wales.

The Tabernacle Auditorium seats 350 people and has perfect acoustics. Here, each year in late August, the Machynlleth Festival takes place: a week of splendid music making by eminent performers.
 

Throughout the year MOMA WALES shows Modern Welsh Art, in a series of constantly changing exhibitions featuring Wales' top artists. Works from the growing Tabernacle Collection are shown in rotation. In July every year artists are invited to enter a new work in the Tabernacle Art Competition. Expert judges and then the public choose the winners.
 

The adjacent Old Tannery building was acquired in 2002. Funds are being raised to convert it into a New Gallery to exhibit works from The Tabernacle Collection and to provide a Sculpture Space.
