MASS MoCA
Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art
A huge contemporary art museum converted from an old electrical factory in North Adams, one of the largest contemporary art venues in the United States.
Opened in 1999, MASS MoCA uses 26 nineteenth-century factory buildings to display large-scale installations and long-term exhibitions. These include a retrospective of Sol LeWitt's wall drawings and works by Anselm Kiefer, James Turrell and Laurie Anderson, set in spacious, striking galleries. The site has a restaurant, a café and performance venues, and it hosts music festivals in summer. Admission is about US$25, and the museum is closed on Tuesdays in the off-season. It is about 45 km from Lenox and can be combined with the Clark Art Institute and Mount Greylock for a day trip through northern Berkshires.
Opening hours
Approx. 10:00–17:00 (closed Tuesdays in off-season)
