MOCA holds one of the most significant collections of post-1940 art in the world, with works by Rothko, Pollock, Basquiat, and Cindy Sherman across two downtown locations. The Grand Avenue flagship is architecturally striking and the programming is consistently ambitious. It can feel underattended on weekdays, which is actually a gift — you get the galleries nearly to yourself.
