Inside this museum was smaller than it looked from the outside. there wasn't as much installation art as i thought there would be, but some of them were quite interesting. i like the fact that admission is free every thursday from 5-8pm. No one should have to pay to see a few art works in this small museum. i was in and out within an hour.
PROS:
CONS: Parking is not free.

The museum of Contemporary Arts houses new exhibitions all the time as well as its permanent collection. There are always interesting art pieces and exhibits that are out of the world.
This is one place that probably shouldn't be missed if you're into more contemporary types of arts. They also have a special 'night' tour that goes on certain nights.

The quality of the exhibitions has varied greatly over the years but the space is quite large and has nice gallery spaces for displaying the work. There is a nice gift shop with a lot of hard to find books and periodicals and a nice outdoor courtyard with a fountain. It is...
