MASS MoCA

Celebrated museum & performing arts center highlighting the work of contemporary artists since 1999.

MASS MoCA in North Adams is one of the largest contemporary art museums in the United States — a 19th-century mill complex in the Berkshire hills converted into a museum whose sheer industrial scale allows it to commission and permanently install works of ambition that no urban institution could accommodate. James Turrell's six-decade survey occupies an entire building; other permanent works by Gunnar Schonbichler, Cauleen Smith, and Jenny Holzer reward extended engagement. A destination that changes how you think about what art institutions can be.
