"One of the largest contemporary art museums in the US, located in North Adams, featuring a massive collection of Sol Lewitt’s large-scale wall drawings and installations by James Turrell."
"This sprawling museum lures history buffs and art fans alike. The 16-acre complex of 19th-century mill buildings occupies almost a third of the North Adams downtown business region. It is a mind-bending museum. James Turrell, Xu Bing, and Katharina Grosse are among the artists who revel in just how much space is here. The curation is smart, using the gargantuan ceilings and old trappings of the place to make you feel dwarfed, but not diminished. When you need a break, there is a brewpub here, a good café, ice cream, and a fine dining restaurant." - Alex Van Buren, Andrea Whittle, Devra Ferst
"Cosmic Latte, an installation of suspended LEDs by Spencer Finch, at Mass MoCA." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"One of the largest art museums in the U.S., featuring Kidspace for hands-on activities." - Travel + Leisure Editors
