The MCA claims to be the largest contemporary art museum in the country, emphasizing experimentation in a variety of media -- painting, sculpture, photography, video and film, dance, music, and performance. But much of the space seems to be taken up...

Museum of Contemporary Art - user review
While most people believe the Art Institute of Chicago is the city''s best art museum, some feel the MCA is a more cutting-edge establishment with a certain urban-slanted attitude that may be just right for Chicago. Designed by the German architect Josef Paul Kleihues, it opened on June 21, 1996, as...

Museum of Contemporary Art - expert review
A group of art patrons who felt the great Art Institute was unresponsive to modern work founded the MCA in 1967, and it's remained a renegade art museum ever since. It doesn't have any permanent exhibits; even the works from its collection are constantly rotating. This gives it a feeling of freshnes...

Museum of Contemporary Art - user review
A day at the Museum of Contemporary Art is sure to please any art enthusiast. Compared to the Art Institute this museum is quite a bit smaller and much more manageable. The large open galleries allow the viewer to walk leisurely from piece to piece. The two large galleries on the first floor are oft...

The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) - expert review
The MOCA's permanent collection of American and European art from 1940 to the present divides itself between two spaces: the linear red-sandstone building at California Plaza and the Geffen Contemporary, in nearby Little Tokyo. Likewise, its exhibitions are split between the established and the cutt...

A mixed bag with lots of potential - user review
The MCA in Chicago has an absolutely amazing collection. I say that because you might not see any of it - so much space is given over to temporary shows (many of which are excellent and to...

Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) - user review
If you like modern art or just looking for a nice way to spend the afternoon, the MOCA is worth a trip. When we went, we saw an exhibition my Gabriel Orozco, whose work involved a wide range of art media like photography, industrial elements, sculpture, video, and drawing. I'm not really an expert o...

Designed by architect Josef Paul Kleihues, claustrophobia has no place in the airy space. The extensive granite front steps are a wonderful place to sit while waiting for friends; they front a plaza that host a can't-miss farmers market come summertime. And that's not all events-wise. The first Frid...
