Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego

Michael Henderson

Theres 2 kinds of people here. People who want to be the person who goes to a museum and looks at art, and people who want to go to a museum to look at art. Be the 2nd one. Enjoy the art, ignore the price tags and try to put yourself where the artist was when they made the piece. Dont make it a goal to see every art piece, make it a goal to truly stop and consider at least one.

World class collection of modern art in a world class space. Impressive curating of Niki De Saint Phalle exhibit. Works of women artists well represented in their permanent collection. Content everywhere, including the architecture of new additional space.Art heaven for artists, teachers, students. Even a general tourist with no particular interest in art will find something to stop, look and really see. I also live the MCA downtown SD next to Santa Fe Depot. Two such gems in San Diego County. Oh yes, fun small gift shop with select unusual items.

One of La Jolla's landmarks, this museum will satisfy your itch for different types of modern art. In my opinion art is supposed to hit your different emotions and senses. You are welcome to question an art piece such as "why this canvas looks blank" but by asking that question and having the puzzled feeling, that art piece just did what it was supposed to do.

We thoroughly enjoyed the recently reopened, enlarged MCASD, including the views of the Pacific Ocean alongside contemporary art. Beautiful! The current "Niki de Saint Phalle in the 60's" special exhibition is outstanding.
