Founded in 1936 as the Boston Museum of Modern Arta sister institution to New Yorks MoMAthe museum was conceived as a laboratory where innovative approaches to art could be championed. The museum established a reputation for identifying important new artists, and in pursuit of this mission, eventually parted ways with MoMA and changed its name to the Institute of Contemporary Art in 1948. As the ICAs reputation grew around the nation, it paved the way for other institutes and museums of contemporary art as well as artists spaces and alternative venues. More Info below.
