Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles
Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, Contemporary art museum in Downtown Los Angeles, United States.
The Museum of Contemporary Art features two locations in Los Angeles, with the main branch on Grand Avenue and the Geffen Contemporary in Little Tokyo.
The museum emerged from a 1979 discussion between Mayor Tom Bradley and Marcia Simon Weisman, leading to collectors pledging their art collections.
The permanent collection contains 5,000 American and European artworks created after 1940, displayed in exhibition spaces illuminated by pyramidal skylights.
General admission grants access to both MOCA locations, with operating hours from Tuesday through Sunday and extended hours on Thursday evenings.
The Geffen Contemporary location, transformed by Frank Gehry, provides extensive space for large installations in a former warehouse building.
