The Museum of Contemporary Art

The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (MOCA) was founded in 1979 as the city's first museum dedicated exclusively to art created after 1940. It operates across two main locations: MOCA Grand Avenue, the institution's 1986 home in a red sandstone building by Arata Isozaki, and the Geffen Contemporary, a former warehouse in Little Tokyo adapted by Frank Gehry. MOCA's collection of around 7,500 works spans Abstract Expressionism, Pop, Minimalism, conceptual practices, and contemporary art from Los Angeles and around the world.
