The museum is located on the site of the former Sprague Electric Works factory. The site is listed as a superfund contaminated site. When the factory shut down during the 1980s, the city's economy suffered. Finally, in 1999 , MASS MoCA opened its doors. It is considered to be the largest contemporary arts museum in the world. EXTERNAL LINK MASS MoCA is the home of the Bang on a Can Summer Institute, where composers and performers from around the world come to create and perform new music. The festival, started in 2001, includes concerts in galleries - usually twice a day - for three weeks during the summer. |
