The fame of MCA is due to the fact that it is the largest museum in the country that emphasizes on contemporary-art and experimentation in the fields of painting, photography, sculpture, video/ film and a variety of performance arts. But this is a place that shall be admired most by the regular theatergoers; the actual art gets over almost in a jiffy. Now, I know that’s hard to believe and it goes against the this piece of gloomy and imposing property standing between the lake and the Water Tower, but there’s no doubt that it shall remind an onlooker of Communist Russia. However, the vibrant interiors and the sun-drenched two-story central corridor is going to set the mood for the better times inside.

There are elliptical staircases to take the visitor around the three floors comprising the exhibits, among which, works of artists like Cindy Sherman and Chuck Close have been used by the MCA to elevate its national image at par with the New York Museum of Modern Art. A retrospective tour shall reveal that, though it’s going to be a short one – roundabout an hour. The barrel-vaulted galleries are the best that I found; these exhibits on the top floor are the permanent ones in the entire collection. To understand them better, I availed a little guidance that came in the form of an audio tour. There is also a range of special activities as well as educational programs on films and performance arts; if you have enough patience, you may attend the enlightening lecture series in the 300-seat theater. The Puck's saved the hungry me at the end of it and thank you Culture counter; it’s for you that I could take home the one-of-a-kind gift items. Next time, I shall enjoy the live music; this time, the time was real short.
