Museum of Contemporary Art Arlington — Attraction in Arlington

A peaceful escape from the summer heat — MOCA Arlington is a small but beautifully curated contemporary art space.

The exhibits aren’t large in scale, but they’re thoughtfully arranged, allowing you to truly slow down and enjoy each piece. Even better, admission is free, and the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, adding a warm human touch to the experience.

There’s convenient parking right next to the museum, and photography is allowed, so you can capture and cherish your favorite artistic moments.

Whether you have 30 minutes, this space offers a gentle pause in your day. Perfect for anyone seeking a calm, refreshing, and inspiring summer visit — a quiet gem in the heart...

It was definitely an interesting museum. It’s kinda small but it has some very interesting pieces. I gather exhibits rotate out because nothing i saw in other pictures/Reviews was still there as far as I know. However then again part of it was closed off when I went due to a summer camp field trip or something like that. Still was an interesting museum and intriguing to see what’s actually in this building which I have walked or otherwise gone past many times in my life. I might even come back someday if my artsy girlfriend thinks...

Such a wonderful part of Arlington! The art on display is contemporary and very interesting to view. Their classes are excellent! I took a drawing class this spring and the instructor, Melanie, was fantastic. I am not a natural at drawing but Melanie made it manageable while still challenging us. She was able to adapt really well to moving virtually the last couple of classes due to the pandemic, and I don’t think it diminished...
