The Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit or MOCAD is a non-collecting contemporary art museum located in Detroit's cultural center. The mission of the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit is: MOCAD is where adventurous minds encounter the best in contemporary visual, literary, music and performing arts. A responsive center for diverse audiences, MOCAD presents art that contextualizes, interprets, educates and expands culture, pushing us to the edges of contemporary experience.
MOCAD is housed in a 22000sqft building, a converted former auto dealership designed by architect Andrew Zago. The architecture is intentionally raw and unfinished.
