Museum of Contemporary Art
Museums / Galleries, Near North
Fodor's Review:
A group of art patrons who felt the great Art Institute was unresponsive to modern work founded the MCA in 1967, and it's remained a renegade art museum ever since. It doesn't have any permanent exhibits; even the works from its collection are constantly rotating. This gives it a feeling of freshness, but it also makes it impossible to predict what will be on display at any time. Special exhibits are devoted mostly to original shows you can't see anywhere else -- past exhibits have included solo shows by light artist Dan Flavin and photographer Catherine Opie, and group shows with new work from China and Brazil. See the MCA Web site for details.
