The exhibition space is small but there are certainly some interesting things to see.MOCA is currently closed, but digital programming is available to all. Check out the exhibit on human trafficking.

Small but intimate space. This exhibit Id well worth seeing

Had a really awesome environmental awareness exhibit. Loves that they also had a section for young artists. Really wonderful place

In an old fire station. Exhibits are modern and intermittent. Check ahead for showings.

Great little place, only $5 admission. Just what I needed to get out of the heat and see some cool art!

I just recently became a member of MOCA, I look forward to enjoy the experience.

Museum is relatively small, but the exhibits were interesting and curated well. The shop was especially nice, featured a lot of different work. Not very busy; I was the only person there when I went.

Nice visit. I never paid attention to this museum. Nice shows and cost is very reasonable.

We had a great time here and the place is clean and well put together. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. I would suggest for anyone that loves art to check this place out.

Awesome museum and amazing staff. Experience there was great. Only reason not 5 stars is one concern. I am not at all for the censorship of art in any means. I did however take an underage kid with me and we entered a room with many satanic like figures and art made with a guys pubic hair and seamen, with a video talking about his process. Just saying a little heads up would have been cool, even a post-it on the threshold saying “ Are you sure you wanna come in?” Anything.

Great museum with art from Tucson Locals, big space, lots of cool events held here like Third Thursdays where if you are a Vantage West Credit Union Member you get to go in for free. Great location.

5 dollars I suppose is right for the museum but what they had on display when I was there I still felt a little disappointed. Maybe visit when they have an exhibit you want to see. Staff are good. Building is nondescript. It was fairly easy to walk to from my down town hotel.

Small, boring museum that was more focused on pushing a political narrative than interesting art. Im not saying art cant have an agenda, or be used to open people to different ways of thinking, but I was not impressed.

Mind blowing conceptual art. Close by parking in downtown area. Museum store is a fun browse.

Good place to see what new artists have to display. I also enjoyed environmental exhibit.

We attended the birthday celebration here on a free Sunday. My girls got their face painted, did sand art, and we all ate free cake. The kids walked the museum and enjoyed observing the art works on display. Staff was super friendly!!

For being a small city I find it amazing that we not only have a MOCA but that it is a perfect space and well-curated. In an old fire house, the main gallery is open to natural light from the north and south. It makes it a little sweaty in the summer, but at least its not an east/west. Shows are set up to take the best advantage of the building, from the main gallery to smaller rooms and alcoves. I highly recommend it as a spot for local and tourist alike. Make a day of it since El Minuto and Cushing Steet Cafe are both within walking distance, along with the El Tiridito shrine.

I spent a few hours here with my friends. it’s free on thursday, pretty cool place, especially for photos. after i told my friends about it they all came.

It was an interesting place. A bit sparce, but it is Tuscon. Also they had some technical difficulties when I visited; some media portions were not working. That may have made a big difference.

Maybe my timing was wrong, because I was slightly disappointed in the exhibit. The main room showed basically paintings of the Sonora Desert. The smaller rooms had only a few pieces of art in each. Being a globetrotter maybe I expected too much from a small museum. For five dollars it was interesting at best. Ill be back, when they have a new exhibit

This is just one of the museums I visited in Tucson during a horribly hot visit in June. I mention the heat, because the staff gave both me and my dog water when they saw I was distressed. So kind and thoughtful. The exhibit was fascinating. The curator did a wonderful job showcasing a very interesting artist. In other words, not my favorite artist, but one that I found very worthwhile to see. My opinion of the showcased artist actually changed due to the brilliance of the presentation. This is a worthwhile museum to see if you are in Tucson

Very knowledgeable staff. Morah was excellent!

I had been wanting to go since I walked passed a few months ago. And Sundays is/was a good day 3pm a good time. Loved the art! Looking forward to the next opening.

I payed a visit to the Museum of Contemporary Art on a mission to discover new territory for my own creative inspiration... Not being a native of Tucson, I sometimes venture out to explore areas of the city I have not yet experienced. Art & Culture was my goal, an what an adventure my afternoon turned out to be!! The overall aesthetic of the Museum of Contemporary Art is amazing; a spacious setting that reveals form & design concepts throughout the venue, yet the windows in the structure keep you connected with the essence of its desert surroundings. Its a refreshing change from the other museums Ive been to around the world. Notably, the Museum offers a variety of installations - Visual Art Forms, in addition to some very interesting, (and not so typical), community activities and events. Personally, I Love This Place It definitely provided me with the Creative Inspiration I initially set out to find It is certainly a place that EVERYONE can comfortably enjoy! And for me, has become a favorite destination for smoothing out my Artistic Edges

Beautiful space. Drag show was excellent. The students were amazing.

Very balanced expeditions, great setting

Really beautiful place.The staff is amazing and extremely knowledgeable! Very interesting.

This art museum is worth a stop if you in Tucson. Its got one large gallery and the front and a few small ones in the back

Cool little art space.

They always have insightful exhibits and really cool programs for kids.

I went here for a free event called Sparkle Motion that was geared towards the queer community and providing an opportunity for us to come together to make art! It was so awesome because making art is one of my favorite things, and they had a ton of materials for us to use, all for free. Plus we could get into the museum and check out thus exhibits for free, too. The two that I saw were noteworthy. Many thanks to the people who put on Sparkle Motion and also those who work at MOCA general!

Contemporary art is good art place to go its awesome.

I have never been but they keep asking me to review must have been near it but Im quite sure that it is a nice place

I have been to MOCA on several occasions and every experience has been a delight. The art rotates regularly and is always thought-provoking and creative.Every staff interaction I’ve had, whether in the gift shop or on a tour, has been exceptional. I highly recommend MOCA to any fan of contemporary art, or any art fan in general.I expect that I will be back many more times, and I look forward to it!

If you like art this is the place to see contemporary art...amazing what people can create from the imagination

My family loves it here. Always interesting. We always find something intriguing to discuss. The layout is great!

It is always nice to see up and coming artists works. Variety is great.

Or theVery interesting place to visit or to participate in one of their educational programs.

Rotating art exhibits. Its great and only takes 45 minutes at most. Its a bit small though.

Interesting space with what seemed to be a lot of installation art. Dont visit if you ate a fan of the traditional art museum experience. It looks like the museum is a work in progress. Would like to visit again when more galleries are open. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Free for military with ID #MilitaryDiscounts #ArtofTucson

Love this place great place to check out art and cool off if you are in downtown Tucson

Luv it free Sd unday and ThursdaysBe sure fo vall in advance!

Was there for a wedding, so I did not get to see the whole space. The exhibits I saw were interesting. I look forward to checking out the rest of the place if I return to Tucson.

Nice, big space to experience modern art here in Tucson

The Tucson Museum of Contemporary Art proves itself to be alive and well! After my recent attendance, I was extremely pleased with the art show! Everyone there is extremely nice and more than willing to talk! I met many of the artists who are actually featured there! I definitely will be back!

The staff is amazing and extremely knowledgeable! Each exhibition Ive seen at MOCA has been an exciting experience. Also, I love how they transformed the beautiful building. It used to be a great Fire Station, and is now valued as a great museum!

MOCA is a wonderful contemporary art space. Every new installation is different and all of their programs and events have made it an essential social and cultural hub in Tucson. If you live here or you are visiting definitely check it out and dont forget to attend their shows and events.

Affordable and small. The right place to let an hour wait pass with inspiring art.

Thoughtful shows - contemporary, relevant and good variety. This museum also hosts many community events and is open to the public.

Im so glad we went on a free day cause there was little to see here and what little there was was underwhelming. I like crazy art. I love contemporary art but a room full of painted blue boxes is really kind of a let down.

Every last sunday is FREE ADMISSION! Awesome way to take a casual stroll through downtown is to stop here then get coffee or a drink, or the other way around!!!

A wonderful display space, but a disappointing collection. The installation pieces were rather amateurish, there were a few great paintings though. The space would lend itself well to sculpture of which there was almost none.

Engaging exhibits and very pleasant staff. Just today was a great 90s party for their 20th birthday! And the building was Tucsons first firehouse!! Come on down!

Retrofit a gallery space into a former firehouse and you have the Tucson MOCA

Didnt quite feel like we absorbed enough art for the $8 entry fee. There were some nice watercolors up but in a side room to the gift shop. The main exhibition wasnt as cool as the space itself. Not the best art experience we had in Tucson but we spent the most on it.

I found it really interesting something different to see its cool we have something like this in Tucson az

4th Sunday free admission well worth finding parking. Aura photo tour going on, very cool.

Very interesting artists on display for approximately 3 to 4 months. Rotating contemporary art. Parking is a problem. Street parking if you can find it.

Very I interesting place, the cultural art is def my favorite

Edgy sight and sound exhibitions in a Brutalism era, ex-firestation building.One very large, and several small gallery spaces - open and accessible.Go see what it is...

Amazing place, rivals the big cities! Kudos!

OK art museum for a city the size of Tucson. Exhibits are fresh. I am a little underwhelmed, but have enjoyed the experience of an occasional visit.

Been a friend of MOCA since its infancy when it occupied one of the small warehouses on Toole Ave. Its nice to see it in a more permanent location; what a great use of the old Fire Central building!

Beautiful art

Great friendly staff, and interesting art.

Really beautiful place ,lots of amazing stuff to see

Awesome

There is not much to see. Thanks God I am studendt, because I paid $5.00 to see anything. I love Museum and this one was a disappointment at ALL. It shouldnt be call Museum.

It was a joke! $8. To get in to see an empty building. Plywood with circles cut out in one room, 150 lude photos creating a wallpaper collage in another. Lets not forget the room with the amateur posters. When you walk in you are faced with a 2000+ square foot room with 2 ruffly made sculptures, thats it, I dont get it. The waste of space is unreal! They are surrounded by artists, showing off an empty building. OMG, wouldnt want to leave out the fact that you can buy Telly Tubby t-shirts! Wow! Get in touch with the local community...show art!

Love the exhibits and how frequent they change

Im perplexed. Completely confused. Just returned from going to MOCA, we were in there maybe 15 minutes. I thought there must be more rooms, that what I was seeing couldnt be all that was there. I wouldnt even consider what I did see as art. A room with photos that an amateur could have taken, a large room with rain pipes pouring water into a truck bed and a wooden structure, plus a room with wooden pieces that have some paint on them? Oh, and a front desk, a shop and some bathrooms. I double checked to make sure we werent missing something, but that was it? P.S. They charged $8 for this, which is completely reasonable for an actual art museum, but not this place. The Etherton Gallery was free, and had actual art if, if you like photography I suggest going there. This should be reversed, because I wouldnt go here for free if Id known what was in it, and Id make several trips to Etherton even if they charged a fee.

A great addition to the Tucson art scene, housed in what was the citys downtown fire station. Check their website for a full calendar of art events.

Yet another great museum in Tucson.

Absolute waste of time

Great museum with nice paintings and pieces of art, including exhibits.

Wonderful museum! I love that they repurposed an old fire department and created a cool spot for locals and travelers alike to explore Tucsons unique culture through art and fun events. I highly recommend everyone visiting the shop in MOCA for interesting jewely, ceramics, shirts, books and more. Support Tucson Culture, visit MOCA!

It looks like socialist/ communist art. This isnt the art of highly trained and skilled artists in a cultured society.

Great museum to learn more about contemporary art.

Interesting film on camoflage

Its more of just things placed in places.. I guess thats art.. But wasnt what I was expecting.. Which I guess is also art? Idk.. Not a place to go if youre not an art person.

Nice place

Beautiful exhibits. Easy to navigate.

The art here is truly awful. More like a display of junk at a junkyard.

Interesting place

A small museum with the basics, 1 for & rooms.

Interesting

Great place

Amazing!

Staff was friendly but disappointed they had not announced their closure for construction and reset to the library.

Creativity on display

Sparse

It was different

Good family fun

Small but entertaining

Great art!
