An amazing contemporary art museum with exhibitions in a variety of styles. The space features a rotation of talented artists in its repurposed galleries , as well as special musical events .

Christopher Farrell

Amazing space and exceptional because of its capacity to exhibit very large works and installations by contemporary artists . You will see things here that you won't see anywhere else.

Casey Albert

I love MASS MoCA! This museum showcases the most unique pieces of art . They have comedy acts, concerts in the summer and other fun events . It is a very popular place in North Adams. Must see!

Chelsea

Basically my favorite place in the world. Exhibits rotate regularly. The big room is my favorite and I will NEVER tire of the comprehensive Sol LeWitt retrospective.

IrmaZandl ZandlSlant

FANTASTIC. highly recommend. the building itself and the installations are spectacular. Quite a few TURRELLS. Other highlights: Jenny Holzer, the Trenton Doyle Hancock installation and Annie Lennox

Andrew Adams

James Turrell exhibit is truly truly spectacular. The “perfectly clear” ganzfeld piece is worth the four hour trek to manhattan easily. Like an encounter with the sublime, transcendent!

Tom Verni

It is an amazing place! You have to see it for yourself. Try the restaurants outside in town as well . Frieghtyard Pub is like a Berkshire version of Cheers!

Pete Casellini

Perhaps the most consistently well-curated museum I've had the pleasure of visiting, and the architecture and setting are an astonishing complement. Every visit has been more incredible than the last.

Xu Bing exhibit is WOW. Take the time to sit and watch the mini-doc about his Phoenixes, which is also on Vimeo but deserves to be experienced on-site after you see the beasts in the flesh.

Sabrina Boggio

love the layout of the museum . you can instantly get lost in the art since the museum is like going through a maze. you could see a level that you want to go to but it's a mission to get there.

Charlottes

Stunning building holding impressive collection. And Afogato. Mmm.

Alan Mooiman

Worth a long day trip from NYC; get there when it opens because it’s really big.

Visit Sol LeWitt on the ground level first. If you like it, continue onto second and third floors. If not, move onto another exhibit .

Jacquie Sandberg

Wow. A must see. Allow for a lot of time since the building was an old mill a lot of the layout isn't exactly intuitive.

Deirdre McMennamin

The Sol Lewitt exhibit is stunning. #art

Paula Summit

Loved everything about it starting with the building. The exhibits are wonderful!

Oz Lubling

Amazing museum showing incredible contemporary art . It's worth the drive from NYC.

Andrew Fischer

Absolutely fantastic! If you liked the MassMoCA I might suggest Dia:Beacon, in Beacon, NY. Very similar setup and lots of large form modern sculpture .

Bill Hartnett
