The Brattleboro Museum and Art Center (BMAC),[1] a non-collecting museum, was founded in 1972 and is located in the former Central Vermont & Boston & Maine Union Station building in downtown Brattleboro, Vermont.

New exhibits by regional and international artists are shown each season. The aim of BMAC is to present art and ideas in ways that inspire, educate, and engage people of all ages. Some of BMAC's notable exhibiting artists have included Jennifer Bartlett, Chuck Close, Janet Fish, Emily Mason,[2] Wolf Kahn,[3] Chris Van Allsburg and Andy Warhol. The BMAC's space also serves as community center.
