    Free Admissions from 5-8pm on Thursday nights. Also with your ticket purchase for this museum you can get into the MOCA on Grand St free. There is also a shuttle that takes you there for 50 cents.

    Did you know? Before MOCA moved in, and architect Frank Gehry renovated, the Geffen Contemporary space was home to a hardware store and later, a city warehouse and police car garage. Read more

    This stunning museum was once a police vehicle warehouse, until transformed by Frank Gehry in the 1980s into what has been called "a prince among spaces".

    There seems to be some major lines for 'Art In The Streets' show. If you go to the MOCA Grand location, you can buy tix w/ no line, grab a free shuttle to this MOCA, walk right in, passed that line.

    I like this better than the main MOCA building. More room for large scale installations.

    For Art in the Streets, Space Invader placed multiple pieces around the entire museum. I found 11 (12 including the featured piece).

    Dubbed the "temporary contemporary," this MOCA venue is a spectacular space for contemporary art. Only thing that could make it better is if Burden's "Exposing the Foundation" was ALWAYS on view ;)
