1040 MASS MoCA Way · North Adams, MA
Why you should go…
MASS MoCA fills the former Arnold Print Works, a textile printing complex that later became a Sprague Electric plant before the museum opened in 1999. The old mill buildings give artists room for very large works, and you can spend hours moving between long-term installations by Sol LeWitt and James Turrell and changing exhibitions. A 2017 expansion added roughly 130,000 square feet in Building 6. The campus also hosts concerts and music festivals.
