Madison Museum of Contemporary Art, Madison

The Madison Museum of Contemporary Art — MMoCA, formerly known as the Madison Art Center, is an art museum located at State Street. A three-story glass facade "icon" on the corner of State and Henry Streets serves as the museum's main staircase, as well as its architectural landmark. MMoCA has three components: the multi-wing main museum is at the Overture Center for the Arts. Two large galleries frequently display touring exhibits and local works in the MMoCA collections; Henry Street Gallery showcases a rotating selection from the Museum's collections; the theater showing member patron-selected art films, and open to the public. MMoCA is free to the public. The Madison Museum of Contemporary Art obtains most of its funding from museum memberships, the annual Art Fair on the Square, and also private gifts and donations to the collection.
