The Momentary
A contemporary art and performance space converted from a former Kraft cheese factory, and the 'sister museum' of Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.
Opened in 2020, The Momentary retains the factory's brick walls and silos and adds a new metal tower. It exhibits contemporary visual art, installations and multimedia works, and hosts concerts, performances and music festivals such as FreshGrass. The rooftop tower bar offers views over the city. Most exhibitions are free, while performances require paid tickets. The venue is usually closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, so check the official website. Located southeast of downtown, it is about a 15-minute walk from the square, with free shuttle service to Crystal Bridges.
