Designed by the German architect Josef Paul Kleihues, it opened on June 21, 1996, as...

A day at the Museum of Contemporary Art is sure to please any art enthusiast. Compared to the Art Institute this museum is quite a bit smaller and much more manageable. The large open galleries allow the viewer to walk leisurely from piece to piece. The two large galleries on the first floor are oft...

If you like modern art or just looking for a nice way to spend the afternoon, the MOCA is worth a trip.

The extensive granite front steps are a wonderful place to sit while waiting for friends; they front a plaza that host a can't-miss farmers market come summertime. And that's not all events-wise.
