Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit

The Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit(MOCAD) is a museum located on Woodward Avenue in Detroit between the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and the Detroit Institute of Arts(DIA). It allows people to explore emerging ideas in contemporary art. This building is a 22,000 square foot building that was once used as an auto dealership, that has been renovated to keep its character. The architect is Andrew Zago.

From the outside this building doesn't look too great. This museum has graffiti written across the whole building, therefore when you look at it, unless you've been there before, you probably think it was just another trashy building in Detroit.  But, if there was to be a museum anywhere displaying graffiti on its exterior it must be in Detroit.

Until recently I had never heard of this museum before. It probably goes unnoticed because of the way it looks; it doesn't stick out as a place of importance. I am looking forward to checking it out in the spring when the weather gets nice.
