In Short – The 13-acre museum complex, formerly Sprague Electric Company, offers 100,000 square feet of exhibition space in 19 galleries. Galleries of up to 20,000 square feet house a rotating selection of permanent and visiting exhibits, including the work of sculptor Joseph Beuys and emerging artist Natalie Jeremijenko's zany upside-down trees. Theaters and performance spaces host performance art, film, music, dancing, and more. Kidspace offers children and adults alike a chance to view and make contemporary art.

Wild Art, Great Space
by artdude
MassMOCA presents awesome performances as well as contemporary art on the cutting edge. If you go to MOCA, take a tour -- they are excellent. Art shows feature internationally important artists and art trends, not for the faint of art. Performing arts events have included Philip Glass, Steve Reich and many other luminaries in music, dance and film. Great dance parties.

There is no permanent collection at MASS MoCA -- (that's why i gave it a 5) and that's fine because it's a contemporary art museum (not a modern art museum...as you have it listed). they are always on the cutting edge of art and really make the drive from anywhere worthwhile. the robert wilson exhibit is amazing as is the general look, feel, and ambience of the buildings and complex. they're performing arts events are also spectacular as are the venues. there really is no other place like this in the states.
- Pros: inexpensive, great scenery, performing arts
- Cons: winter weather
