Museum Of Contemporary Art (Moca Geffen) Free Admission Wednesday

Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA Geffen) Free Admission Wednesday - see INFO below. Southern California architect Frank Gehry led the renovation of the Albert C. Martin, Sr.-designed 1947 Union Hardware buildings. Gehry left the exteriors intact, except for new entrance doors, and built a canopy of chain-link fencing and steel trusses over the closed-off street, to form a partially shaded plaza. There are two large, open gallery spaces, illuminated by industrial wire-glass skylights and a row of clerestory windows along the south wall. The intricate structural network of steel beams and supports has been left exposed, serving as support for the many movable display walls and lending a sculptural effect. A steel crane rail, left over from the building's hardware days, remained in place. The loading docks now serve as the lobby. MOCA encourages the use of public transportation; please use the Metro Trip Planner to plan your visit. More Info below.
