Great architecture. It is interesting to me that about half the floor space is not being used, and this is an expensive area. The "Construction, Do not enter" signs are positioned such that you don't see them until you are leaving the area you shouldn't enter, such as back of the door.

It's a small museum. But they have great stuff. I'm not usually into guided tours, but one was starting and I thought... "might as well...". Was I surprised! I learned a lot.

This MOCA location can be a hit or miss with their exhibitions. It's free so I cannot complain about that at all but the quality (at least in my opinion) is really unstable. You never know what you'll walk into.

I've had the pleasure of working at the Pacific Design Center for 4.5 years before departing recently so I've had the chance to check out a few interesting exhibitions - both great and meh.

Parking for this location would be located at the PDC building, which isn't free if you're not working there or having a meeting with a client in the green building. But definitely make your way here if you have an awesome artist you want to check out!

Very little on display. I went not knowing what the current exhibition was (Denim) thus I was not interested. Staff were delightful though. Should have done my research but I happened upon this place.

Joy Flabetich

Most exhibits were bar codes or stop signs. As a Fine Artist, I fail to see how it inspires or brings out any emotion from a viewer.

Steven Wood

Dreadful exhibition and was gouged for $10 parking which was not advertised on the entrance I used and the attendant said pay or stay. We were there for about 10 minutes.
