Museum of Contemporary Art Tucson — Attraction in Tucson

I payed a visit to the Museum of Contemporary Art on a mission to discover new territory for my own creative inspiration... Not being a native of Tucson, I sometimes venture out to explore areas of the city I have not yet experienced. Art & Culture was my goal, an what an adventure my afternoon turned out to be!! The overall aesthetic of the Museum of Contemporary Art is amazing; a spacious setting that reveals form & design concepts throughout the venue, yet the windows in the structure keep you connected with the essence of its "desert" surroundings. It's a refreshing change from the other museums I've been to around the world. Notably, the Museum offers a variety of installations - Visual Art Forms, in addition to some very interesting, (and not so typical), community activities and events.

Oh, and a front desk, a shop and some bathrooms. I double checked to make sure we weren't missing something, but that was it? P.S. They charged $8 for this, which is completely reasonable for an actual art museum, but not this place. The Etherton Gallery was free, and had actual art if, if you like photography I suggest going there. This should be reversed, because I wouldn't go here for free if I'd known what was in it, and I'd make several trips to Etherton even if they...

For being a small city I find it amazing that we not only have a MOCA but that it is a perfect space and well-curated. In an old fire house, the main gallery is open to natural light from the north and south. It makes it a little sweaty in the summer, but at least it's not an east/west. Shows are set up to take the best advantage of the building, from the main gallery to smaller rooms and alcoves. I highly recommend it as a spot for local and tourist alike. Make a day of it since El Minuto and Cushing Steet Cafe are both within walking distance, along with the El...
