Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit, Art museum in Detroit, United States
The Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit occupies a renovated industrial building on Woodward Avenue with rotating exhibitions of current artworks. The space contains multiple galleries and public areas designed to display diverse artistic practices and installations.
The building originally served as a car dealership and was converted into a museum in 2006, reflecting Detroit's industrial transformation. This adaptive reuse of a vacant structure demonstrates the city's shift toward cultural spaces.
The museum features work by international and local artists, emphasizing experimental forms and community involvement in Detroit. The exhibitions reflect current artistic conversations and encourage visitors to engage with contemporary creative practice.
The museum is open Wednesday through Sunday with extended hours on Thursday and Friday. Students and seniors receive discounted admission rates on most days.
The Mike Kelley Mobile Homestead is a permanent installation that functions as a community space and art gallery inside a replica of the artist's childhood home. This project blends personal memory with contemporary artistic expression in an unconventional way.
