MASS MoCA

MoCA MoCA

  Walking through Mass MoCA is like walking through one of those play-structures at a Chuck E Cheese, complete with tunnels, bridges, strange rooms and occasionally disturbing images painted on the walls. Strangely enough, Mass MoCA can prove to be a nice place to wander through. There is a lot of things to see, and a lot of things to find making the MoCA an entertaining place to wander through with no particular destination in mind. Without the use of a map, you may find yourself attempting to find every different room and every little detail that that MoCA has to offer just for the fun of it.

            The MoCA has a lot to offer as uses every single room in the former warehouses, and factories of the industrial age of the United States. The aged brick walls and the hard concrete floors of the industrial buildings serves to create an atmosphere that truly captures a lot of the themes behind contemporary art in America.

            If you enjoy contemporary art, then there really is no better place to visit than the MoCA. The some of the artwork from some of the worlds greatest contemporary artists calls the MoCA it’s permanent home while other pieces rent out rooms for a while.

            Overall, MASS MoCA has a lot of beautifully strange things to look at in each one of its rooms. From it’s musty old factory walls in it’s bathrooms to its three floors of Sol Lewitt's painted walls, the MoCA offers a perfect home for the contemporary art it fosters.
