Tasha Smith

We had so much fun here! Great place to bring your family.

A really good collection of artwork and sculptures. Even the architecture of the building symbolizes what it represents.

Deborah Piens

Very nice exhibits of contemporary art that encourage participation in the artistic process.

Mark Silvis

Awesome museum for contemporary art

Dave Alcorn

A great place for downtown Madison. They have great rotating exhibits.

Lucas Benford

Great free contemporary art museum.

Tongcheng Li

Nice museum with great view

Krista DeLaney

Love it

peach

A lovely place to enjoy the art museum atmosphere and discover underappreciated artists and styles for completely free. Great for a broke college student weekend or just for one of the few Madison experiences you don't have to pay for

Charlotte Easterling

Admittedly, I’m biased since I work for the museum. But I was a fan even before that. Great exhibitions, education stations, a rooftop sculpture garden with gorgeous views, and free admission!

Erik Saynisch

Beautiful space. Emotions on the wall.

Julian Guede

beautiful place to spend a winter morning

Diana Guzmán Colón

Kyle Jero

Always love the exhibits they have here, plus it's free.

Marian Hart

Famous artists, worth seeing even for those who usually go to huge museums. Beautiful building, with a must visit if you have children because their huge room with massive amounts of forms children can put together to truly experience the feeling of an artist. Go there regularly to nurture their young creative. It's free.

Mack

Wonderful place

Drew L

Another fantastic world-class collection right here in Madison. We are fortunate for a collection like this available to students, residents, and visitors alike. Conveniently located downtown /campus with ample parking with accessible parking and entrances.

Cosmo Joe

Excellent museum. Really thought provocative and interesting art.

Frederick Vu

I am a better person for having experienced Do Ho Suh's gallery.

Drew Rushmer

Madison's Museum of Contemporary Art is a wonderful building for a number of reasons. Firstly, the price of admission: $0. Not just students, but anyone can visit without having to pay. Secondly, the building itself is a fitting and gorgeous space, tired together with a large and well-kept glass staircase serves as a showcase of it's own, as the quality of the view out of the multi-story glass panels increases with every step. Each gallery is unique, and the building embraces this in the exhibits. Finally, there is the roof garden which boasts sculptures and an impressive view of State Street below. Really a wonderful space in which to enjoy art or the city of Madison, itself.

Arika Kaosa

Beautiful museum with free admission. Really enjoyed the Jeffrey Gibson exhibition.

Evan Coleman

Awesome place with great and interesting artist's.

Missy Isles

Really fun variety. Great place to spend an hour checking stuff out. Would recommend!

Hannah Craig

This is a fantastic, well-curated modern and contemporary art museum located in one of the hippest areas of the Madison Ithsmus. Not only can you stroll through several of the galleries to enjoy the art, but the rooftop is open to enjoy fabulous views of the city and sculture garden! On top of everything, entrance to this museum is completely FREE! Did I mention that this is a free art museum? This is a free art museum. ;)

Mallory Kling

Wonderful free exhibits, a cool rooftop restaurant, and beautiful items in their gift shop.

Jerry Perkins

Well curated exhibits. Friendly and helpful staff. Inexpensive parking lot nearby.

Michael Cantu

I went to see a veterans gallery, and also other contemporary art. It was interesting to see all that talent , a nice museum.

Kisakye Josiah

Great

Kelly Lang

Lots of good stuff.

James Smith

Nice

Andrew French

Wow!

Giselbert Parkhurst

We were looking for some fun and affordable things to do on our last full day in Madison. And nothing is more affordable than free! Free is the best! To add to that, I adore exploring art museums. And I love me some contemporary art!! I mean...really. I was sold in a heartbeat. This was the second museum we visited on the day, following a morning at the Chazen. It is an easy walk between the two, if you are interested, by the way.

Adam Cameron

Worth every penny!

Rachel Romanczukiewicz

Probably one of the more interesting contemporary art museums I've been to, granted that's very subjective. I enjoyed the exhibits that I saw here, and it was very well-organized and clean. I particularly enjoyed the sculpture garden on the rooftop.

Greg Tardif

It was fine. Limited selection for the size of the museum

Zach Feig

It's a pretty small Museum, but it's free, and it's got some cool pieces. you probably only need about 30 minutes to see the whole museum, but since all the exhibits rotate fairly frequently, you're likely to see something new the next time you go. They're a bunch of other free small museums in the area, so if you wanted to spend more time Museuming, this is definitely a worthwhile part of your tour of Downtown Madison.

Kate Birkhead

Small but interesting collecting. Nice light + steps + staff. Stop by for sure.

Shangyanyan Li

Small but nice, interesting exhibition

Janette Rodriguez

This is small museum in the heart of Madison. However their exhibits are beautiful and the space inviting.

Yani Hendrayani

Interesting collections

Carol Sallmann

Shopped in the gift shop. Amazing inventory... I love artful items that reflect individuality and creativity. Nice textiles, jewelry, glass,...

Thomas Kuenzli

Always interesting displays of art!

Holly Waterman

A wonderful free art museum. Was very clean, well maintained. Exhibits were wonderful. I was impressed with the Wisconsin artists exhibits!

Rob Franklin

Inclusive art at its best!

Paul Blazevich

KCproduction

WAUKESHA

Emanuel C. Schwam

Worth a visit from anywhere.

Mark Greenwood

Wonderful little gallery/museum! "Big" is beautiful.

Alexia Tillman

A lovely small contemporary art museum. I was very impressed with the amount of Chicago imagist works they have in their permanent collection.

Vijay Pawar

Free entry to museum. You can cover it in 30 minutes. 10 minutes walk from capital building.

Manuel Silva

3 floors of contemporary art in a beautiful building. Located in downtown Madison, so the location is fantastic. No complaints here, just go an experience the museum yourself. Plan to spend 1-2 hours here.

Ken Smedberg

The museum's store was unique. I couldn't resist buying a bracelet for my wife. Beautiful work made in Israel. The purses from Germany are quite stark but very unique. If you're a shopper you should definitely stop by. The ladies were most helpful.

David Cato

Beautiful rotating free exhibitions. Love this place!

Kim Marley

Enjoyed

Dheeraj Kannan

Amazing art and ambience. Could spend hours here

LUCAS SEGOVIA

What a great museum in the heart of Madison. The exhibitions are not massive, but are well curated and different within each other. I was there while the showing of a specific Frida Kahlo drawing was presented, and it was great. I would certainly recommend it, specially because it is free, which is fantastic.

Hunter Thewis

Nice place people always guarding the art and don't really let you be

Ziv Kruger

Terrific museum, fantastic location!

Chad Conte

Very beautiful as well as friendly staff. There was no fee for admission. They did have Foods set up to receive donations. They had only two galleries available to see that were open. They are renovating and getting ready to open the rest within a month. Can't wait to go back and see the rest! It was very clean and I felt very comfortable and relaxed while viewing all of the art. They even had a tablet with a video showing one of the artists conception from the very beginning of his process all the way to a piece of completed work.

Kristin S

This is a very nice, very modern art museum. We chose the Museum for our wedding because of it's awesome architecture, beautiful glass staircase, and the space itself. We got married and had dinner on the rooftop sculpture garden with beautiful views of the Capitol and State Street. Your guests can also mingle around the museum during any down times before, during or after the wedding. We also used Fresco restaurant for our wedding at the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art (MMoCA) and we were very pleased with their service and coordinating everything for our event. The service was great, prompt, AND they coordinated drop off and pick up times with our other vendors for the day of the wedding. Their team set-up the space for our ceremony and quickly flipped it for dinner, then again for dancing later in the evening. They did a great job the entire night. Everything ran smoothly. Everyone who attended the wedding commented on how great of a time they had and Fresco and MMoCA definitely played a huge role in that! I highly recommend Fresco/MMoCA for parties and/or just dinner! The food is very good and with how happy we are how everything turned out at our wedding we will certainly eat there many many more times!

David Crow

Cool art for free, what's not to like

Brandon Dodge

These guys do such a fantastic job here. This is certainly one of the treasurers of Madison.

Eric Borchardt

I'm sure this place is great, but I just have no idea what I'm looking at.

Jennifer Reinfried

Beautiful space but not a whole lot to look at unless there is an event going on. Was there on a Saturday. Only bathroom I was told about was on the third floor, so nothing on the main one. Going up the stairs I found there wasn't much to see on second or third floors. Weird.

Carly Ziegler

A wonderful place for a date night or a solo wander through the galleries. They usually have a great kids activity in one of the galleries. Stop at the top for a snack or a cocktail.

Sophia Luchianni

One of the feature is the glass straircase overlooking downtown Madison. I love this place for photoshoot. They have some great art as well

Jeff I

Total museum. Cool exhibits but the cafe upstairs was dead.

imjoecarpenter

wonderful resource. thank you mmoca

Justin Martin

Relatively small gallery and exhibition space but "Big" exhibit was very well curated and the roof top sculpture garden and overall layout were fun and interesting

Scotty Rorek

Love this place. It is amazing. The staff is wonderful. They bring artists in for a reception and a talk which is spectacular

백선혜

(Translated by Google) Various kinds of art products are displayed. It's a very educational place. (Original) 다양한 종류의 미술 제품들이 전시되어있고 교육적으로 굉장히 도움이 많이 되는곳입니다

Carla Brisotto

Nice

Lucas Bannister

Good museum with a rotation of art

Chase Fritz

Beautiful.

Hannah McCharon

The desk person would not let my father take pictures of my son and me here even though we were not taking commercial photos or for profit. They should be trained better in their own policy.

Meist Syans

Very small collection and it looked very boring.

Luke VandenLangenberg

One of the great places to see art in Madison. Free admission but recommend donations. Cool restaurant on the roof. Amazing view during the summer

Nathan Belden

A great place to visit downtown.

T Remy

Liked what little I saw, was only going to gift shop for quick look, and get out of wind. Had a children's display of art work, some very well done in the origami style. Gift had many nice pieces to buy, but I'm not currently in the market for a couple of new items, however it was tempting!! Just saw it was free admission, so next when we are in town, or you are in the area... check it out!!

Easton Dobson

It was an enjoyable experience. I loved the layout if the building.

Geralyn Russell

Nice place to take the kids on a rainy, wet day. Enjoyed the art on display as well.

Rob C

Scariest Glass Staircase ever!

lukecario 7

Great place to spend time. It is clean, the staff are friendly, it is a large beautiful building and it has some very interesting and unique pieces of art. They also have some activities for kids. If you are used to going to very large museums with very famous artists you will be disappointed since they do not have many commonly known artists and paintings.

David Hoadley

Good museum, neat pieces, had a good time.

Karin Wolf

Beautiful museum. Great curator. Check out the Wisconsin Triennial. Proud.

Elizabeth Ottman

Free interesting artwork

kyrah g

Amazing exhibits.

Joe Putzer

I only wish it was larger. Such great collections every time I go there.

Christian Velez

If you love seeing things from different eras and cultures, this place is for you.

RiN Blackbird

There are always new and interesting exhibits up, and the staff are always friendly and helpful.

David Gebhardt

Excellent art

Jai Bhandari

It's a small museum on the State Street. Definitely, not for kids. You can see the entire museum in 10-30 minutes depending on your interest. Just few blocks from Capitol.

Nathan Pelc

Enjoy state street and incredible art here. It's a amazing building and they bring in great artists. Such a wonderful place to stop by.

michael desbarres

Madison's No. 1 for world-quality contemporary art exhibitions. A beautiful space complimented by an intelligent, informed staff. Every visit to this Madison treasure is an awakening inspiration to art & life.

carey vinyard

Went with daughters school trip. First time to this area. Love it!! Going back soon!!

Debbie Savaiano

The museum featured two artists which allowed me as a viewer to absorb and appreciate their work without being overwhelmed sesorily. It was a real stress free experience. The written summaries drew me in, engaged me with the artists' history, and enhanced the experience. The store was fun.

thomas walsh

Excellent Exhibition,

Tatiana Schneider

Interesting building and free admission but the exposition itself is not very interesting...

bri flasch

Beautiful art museum with friendly staff.

Dawn Wolf

Lame. I wish I'd waited to give my donation until after I went through the exhibit. The only impressive thing there was the building itself.

Brianna Carothers

Great place. Loved the artwork. Amazing artists, extremely peaceful.

Kurt Kiefer

Terrific museum connected to the performing arts center

Odysseas

Pretty neat little museum. Definitely worth checking out. They have events and music sometimes.

sue jacobs

Interesting collection. Not very big but since admission is free you can enjoy it and then feel free to leave and have coffee in one of the nearby shops. Looks like an interesting restaurant on the top floor but wasn't open when we were there.

Kel Millionie

Wonderful gem of a museum.

Chris

The art gallery down the street has better art.

Kenbob Whiting

WOW ! Great stuff !

Curtis Tezzmer

Cool

Delsa White

Great show on social protest. Go!

Joey Yoo

(Translated by Google) Modern art museum in the center of Madison. There are four exhibitions on the first and second floors, and the restaurant on the third floor has a good view. It's free for all visitors, and the interiors of the building are impressive, so if you're into Madison, it's worth a visit. There are no such famous works or collections, but mainly exhibitions based on one artist. We have a lot of friendly materials for children and it is a place where we can leisurely spend time because there are not many people. (Original) 매디슨 중심부에 위치한 현대미술관. 1층과 2층에 네 개 정도의 전시가 열리며 3층은 경치만 좋은 레스토랑이 있다. 모든 방문자에게 공짜이고 건물의 인테리어도 인상적이여서 매디슨에 놀러온다면 가볼만한 곳이다. 그렇게 유명한 작품이나 컬렉션은 없고 주로 한 아티스트 중심의 전시들을 하는 편이다. 어린이들에게도 친근한 자료들을 많이 준비해 놓았으며 사람이 별로 없어 여유롭게 시간을 보낼 수 있는 공간이다.

Leslie Eshelby

Meandered around hallways looking for MMOCA’s display of more than a hundred portraits and finally found said show by meandering through Nathaniel Mary Quinn’s display which was both compelling and intriguing. Plan to make ample time for viewing both. If anything gleaned from this visit was idea that contemporary art is evolving and morphing in strange and interesting ways. Was there on a weekday surrounded by groups of school kids and they were commendably attentive to what they were being told, awestruck, I hope. Go, it’s free and know that Overture staff have no clue where shows are.

John Desai

Do yourself a favor and stop in for the free exhibits.

Tom Letzing

Beautiful space, with some fine permanent installations and frequently interesting special exhibits.

Hubie Durst

Very beautiful place to enjoy art

Eric Welch

Great

John Ren

If you read about this place on Wikipedia and came to see the dragonfruit painting by Frida Khalo, know that it's not on permanent display. It does hold some pretty good contemporary art though.

Helene Tortorici

Beautiful venue.

kasey childress

Something for everyone

Zack H

Art and architecture in harmony.

Wyatt Plumley

you know I love me some free art

Alina Loux

Excellent free museum, if you enjoy contemporary art.

Sabrina Knights

AMAZING

Spencer

Fun, free place to stop and enjoy some art

Araceli Esparza

The Museum is great location for art and for roof top gatherings.

Brendan Engels

It was pretty. Very informative.

Damon Weil

There's a wide variety of art to look at , so if you don't like one thing, there are many other things to look at, and the people who work there are pretty nice too.

Shane R

I went to an event here and was very disappointed.

Deepak Kumar

Has many interesting pieces of art. Worth the visit. 2 hrs is a good time at this place

Judy Nolan

Great downtown location.

maureen fox

Awesome!

Emery Paine

No comment.

David Puglielli

I truly enjoy the collections here. Also, for an event (wedding) location, it is a great spot.

Robert McKinney

Love the D Butterfield in the window!

Alex Riegert

Great location near the capitol with stunning artwork

Alicia Jackson

This museum has some great work on display. I especially appreciated that guests could enter free of charge. I will definitely be returning in the future.

Thomas Cichon

Not exactly my cup of tea but a very interesting, and free museum

Shar Novin

Not impressed at all. Disturbing exhibit on main floor.

Benny Nabavian

Good vibes

Gil Caspi

I really like the paper cuts exhibit!

Peter Killoran

Loved the museum Will have to come back in future

Matt K

It's the best art in Madison. Taking the glass stairs is well worth the time and effort.

Jamey Cooper

There isn't much here.

Laura Krajacic

Great place.

Terri Gregory

Madison 's a small city. Our artistic institutions are not. MMoCA is among the best in the world. And I love the horse.

Cindy Brinkman

Really amazing exhibits, movies, events, gift shop.

Joe Kyle

The major exhibits were closed as new works were going in, so the available works were quite limited. Still, with free admission it is worth an hour or two. If all the exhibits are open, perhaps somewhat longer.

Roby Kurian

We drove 350 miles to see a Frida Kahlo painting and they had removed it but never mentioned in their website. That sad, but their ongoing exhibition was nice.

Mikael Snitker

Really awesome exhibits

(Translated by Google) "Lee Young Jun PEN ART" Pen Art (General Remarks) Infinity of lines and dots have symbolism. Such symbolism is ever changing according to the spirit ’s depth. All works are kaleidoscopic; they are usually composed of indescribable expressions. Therefore, art ’s depth also can be said to be unlimited. Is pen art ’s depth also infinite? In other words, do the lines and dots flowing from the nib of a pen have an artistic qualification? In this respect, it is worth thinking deeply. Pen art begins from an essence of nature ’s fundamental values. From the standpoint of value, or color, a harmony of black and white is essential in nature. As it is impossible to see any color in darkness, distinguishing color is an essential role of light. That is why the soul is drawn to light. Whiteness, or light is a spiritual reflection of the soul while blackness, or darkness is a reality of life on earth. As the color green is an essential color of vegetation, burnt charcoal is an earthy color that will stay near black. Blackness is heterogeneous and may be hostile to life. If blackness belongs to the essence of nature, it also may be said to represent the image of death. A combination of black and white constitutes degrees of lightness and darkness. When painting black on a white background, the soul is transported to the white background. Whiteness comes to life when contrasted with black line and black space. In this case, soul also may be expressed through the blackness. Soul may be transported to the black or a combination of white and black, which shed a mysterious merit to the soul or spirit. Pen arts starts and ends from an essence of nature ’s fundamental contrasts. The primary essence is infinite and eternal while the artistic harmony of black and white can take one ’s breath away. But, this is not possible until a metamorphosis has been realized over many years and spiritual transcendence has occurred. The transfer of spirit occurs when one ’s life experiences are projected onto the white canvas in harmony with blackness. That is the true ‘pen art.’ Artist Lee Young Jun I am a Korean. I pioneered the "Lee Young Jun Pen Art" and Perfected the genre. I am Artist Lee Young Jun. Pen Art is the only genre is an important work In the world. The works are extremely valuable. And no one is able to work not dare to imitate. The hope my work can be sympathy to many people. Thank you. "Lee young jun PEN ART General" (General Information: Korea) PEN ART (Korea) ------------------------------------------- The infinity of lines and points is symbolic. Its symbolism varies according to the depth of the mind. All works are so. Because they are changeable, they lead to indescribable expression. Thus the depth of art is infinite. Is there any depth in the art of pen? In general, the lines and dots from the tip of the pen Will it be possible to have artistry? You need to think deeply about this. Pen's art begins with the nature of the fundamental colors of nature. From the essence of color, the harmony of black and white is the fundamental of nature. As you can't see the color in the dark without lighting It is the intrinsic function of light that makes it possible to distinguish colors. Because of this, the spirit is drawn in the white light. White or light is a mixed image of spirit. Natural color is black. As green is the intrinsic color of the plant Burned charcoal is an essential color that remains black. There can be no movement of life in absolute darkness. Black is heterogeneous and hostile to life. If black is the essence of nature, black is the spiritual image of death. Contrast is achieved when white combines with black. If you paint black on a white screen, it will be transferred to the white screen. When it encounters a black line, a black face, white resurrects. You can express spirit through black. Spirit is the only thing that can be imported into black, and the colors of spirit and soul are black and white. When combined, it is mysterious. And the art of the pen is the nature of the fundamental colors of nature It starts from and ends at the fundamental nature of color. The fundamental essence is infinite and eternal, and the harmony of black and white is artistic. You can breathe alive enough. It has been refined and completed over time It must be possible after this is achieved, and a perfect melody containing the soul must be premised. The spirit world is created only when the noble and vivid melody in the harmony of black and white enters the spirit on the white screen. That is the art of a true pen.

"Lee young jun PEN ART 총론" (총론 :總論)PEN ART(Korea) ------------------------------------------- 선과 점의 무한함은 상징성이 있다. 그 상징성은 정신의 깊이에 따라 변화무쌍(變化無雙)하다. 모든 작품이 그러하다. 변화무쌍하기 때문에 형언할 수 없는 표현으로 이어진다. 그리하여 예술의 깊이는 무한한 것이다. 펜의 예술이라고 하면 깊이가 무한함이 있을까? 일반적으로 펜의 끝에서 흘러나오는 선과 점이 과연, 예술성을 갖출 수 있겠는가 라는 점이다. 이점에 대하여 깊이 생각할 필요가 있다. 펜의 예술은 자연의 근본적인 색채의 본질에서부터 시작한다. 색채의 본질에서 보면 흑(黑), 백(白)의 조화는 자연의 근본적(根本的)이다. 조명이 없는 어두운 곳에서는 색을 볼 수 없듯이 색을 구분할 수 있게 해주는 것이 빛의 본질적인 작용이다. 때문에 흰색으로 나타나는 빛 속에서 영(靈)을 이끌어 들인다. 흰색 또는 빛은 영(靈)의 혼적(魂的)인 영상이다. 자연색은 검은 색이다. 녹색이 식물의 본질적인 색채인 것처럼 타버린 숯은 검은색으로 남는 본질적인 색상이다. 절대적인 어둠 속에서 어떤 생명의 운동도 있을 수 없다. 검은색은 생명에 대한 이질적(異質的)이고 적대성 (敵對性)이 있다. 검은색이 자연의 본질(本質)이라면, 검은색은 죽음의 영적(靈的)인 영상이다. 흰색이 검은색과 결합(結合)할 때 명암(明暗)이 이뤄진다. 흰 화면에 검은색을 칠하면 靈이 흰 화면에 이입(移入)된다. 검은 선(線), 검은 면(面)과 만날 때, 흰색은 부활(復活)한다. 검은 색을 통하여 영을 표현할 수 있다. 영(靈)이란 검은색 속에 이입될 수 있는 유일한 것이며, 영과 혼의 색채 흑(黑), 백(白)을 결합(結合)하면 신비함을 갖는다. 그리고 펜의 예술은 자연의 근본적인 색채의 본질 에서부터 시작하여 근본적인 색채의 본질에서 끝을 맺는다. 근본적인 본질은 무한(無限)하고 영원함이 있으며, 흑, 백의 조화는 예술적(藝術的)으로 충분히 살아 숨쉴 수 있다. 그것은 오랜 시간을 통하여 다듬고 완성된 경지를 이룬 뒤에야 가능하고, 혼(魂)을 담는 완벽한 선율이 전제 되어야 한다. 흑, 백의 조화 속에 고고(孤高)하고 생생한 선율이 흰 화면에 영이 이입될 때 비로소 영의 세계는 창조(創造)된다. 그것이 진정한 펜의 예술이다. 이영준( 李 永 俊)

Mitchell Harlan

Great exhibits that change fairly often and it was free at least when I went

Ryan Olson

Free exhibits open to the public and there's a good deal of art - enough to take an hour or two to walk through

Mary Suess

Gallery Nights are interesting

Kurt Suchman

Really fantastic free modern art museum just steps away from the Madison Capitol Building! Four floors of rotating exhibits, plus the great views from the rooftop sculpture garden cannot be missed! Managable to finish in an hour or so, but I've rarely seen a free museum with art of this caliber.
