MASS MoCA: Contemporary Art Museum in North Adams, MA

Recommended Posts

Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MASS MoCA) contains 250,000 square feet of gallery space in a former mill complex which once housed Arnold Print Works and Sprague Electric Company in the mountain town of North Adams, Massachusetts. 

MASS MoCA does not have a permanent collection but has long term exhibits.  With large factory galleries, some several floors high, the museum is able to display large works of modern and contemporary art which often can not be displayed in conventional museums.  

Highlights from our visit were James Turrell: Into the Light, which will be on display through at least 2018.  Two of the nine installations require timed reservations, available via the MASS MoCA website.  You will absolutely want to obtain reservations for his work, Perfectly Clear

We also enjoyed Elizabeth King: Radical Small, on view through January 22, 2018 and her collection of small sculptures.

MASS MoCA also has an onsite brewery, restaurant, and coffee shop.   

If you find yourself in the Berkshires, MASS MoCA should definitely be on your To Do list.
