Free Admission Thursday at Museum of Contemporary Art - see INFO below. Architect Arata Isozaki designed MOCA Grand Avenue in 1986 with classical architecture and Los Angeles popular culture in mind. Today this location hosts the museum's main galleries, Lemonade caf, the flagship location of the MOCA Store, and staff offices. We care for the experience of art, the inevitability of change, the multiplicity of perspectives, the urgency of contemporary expression. Established in 1979, we are the only artist-founded museum in Los Angeles. We are dedicated to collecting and exhibiting contemporary art. We house one of the most compelling collections of contemporary art in the world, comprising roughly 7000 objects, and have a diverse history of ground-breaking, historically-significant exhibitions.
