Conceptual and interactive art is exhibited in a series of old mill buildings.We have seen things ranging from a wonderful 150 ft dragon made of car parts that looked as light as a darning needle to Nick Cave's room filling anti violence creation.. Videos, textile art, holograms, interactive sound producing devices. Never boring in Mass Moca. We visit about once a year, sometimes more.It is a huge series of interconnected buildings and easy to get lost in but still user friendly.Kids space is great. This is a museum to introduce children to modern art.Good cafe as well
