I am a wedding photographer and have photographed a few weddings at the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art, most recently in September 2023. This is such a stunning venue to work at! The venue is located right on State Street so it’s easy to walk up to the Capitol or along the street for exciting photos. The glass staircase is filled with natural light and becomes an amazing backdrop for photos. The rooftop sculpture garden is a great location for an outdoor ceremony with views of the Capitol and State Street. The venue staff is excellent to work with. There were several options of areas for the wedding party to get ready, to have the reception dinner, and to have cocktail hour. I would definitely recommend booking your wedding ceremony and reception here!

Lackluster administration, creativity and art collections leaves very little excitement. Perhaps curate and display some famous artists of the 1920-70’s even if the works on display are knock-offs or mock-ups. Whether Warhol or Lichtenstein, pop art is fun, interesting and weirdly wonderful. Also, a fully permanent virtual installation not unlike the “Immersive Van Gogh” that was at Lighthouse could draw more visitors… because the place is usually like a ghost town, and who can blame the public for avoiding a mostly stagnant and boring place

This museum was filled to the brim with beautiful and interesting pieces. I appreciated their involvement in the community; we visited during the student art show. The museum curators and educators were extremely thoughtful in the different resources they had available to view the artwork. I loved looking closely through the magnifying glass at all of the different works on display; it made me feel like a kid. While I also loved the video installations, as an educator I think it may be helpful to have larger signage about what content is visible in each room. I noticed a few kids walk into a rather explicit video game simulation. That said, that’s also on the parents.

Madison's Museum of Contemporary Art is a wonderful building for a number of reasons. Firstly, the price of admission: whatever you can afford to donate. Not just students, but anyone can visit without having to pay. Secondly, the building itself is a fitting and gorgeous space, tired together with a large and well-kept glass staircase serves as a showcase of it's own, as the quality of the view out of the multi-story glass panels increases with every step. Each gallery is unique, and the building embraces this in the exhibits. Finally, there is the roof garden which boasts sculptures and an impressive view of State Street below. Really a wonderful space in which to enjoy art or the city of Madison, itself.

An amazing free museum. The contemporary Art is well displayed with some breathtakingly interesting art. Additionally the rooftop gives an amazing view of downtown Madison. The statues on the rooftop are also wonderful. The staff is very helpful and the museum was well taken care of. This definitely worth a visit if you are in downtown Madison.

The selection of art was not that big, but it was still a good experience with a decent amount of interesting exhibits. It's perfect to spend a couple of hours with a friend on a slow weekend day. Plus, it's free!

This is one of the best museums you can visit, and it's FREE. I come down to State St a few times per year and visiting MMOCA is always the first thing on my list. The exhibits are so unique every time I visit, and while art is subjective and I don't "love" everything, I find that it's always worth my time to come take a look. The staff are friendly, it's always nice to go take a break on the roof, and I've never had a bad time here.

To complain about a free museum, one in which I took my two young children and helped provide the setting for a fun family evening, would be rather tacky. So, I won't do that.Many of the pieces showcasenhow talented the younger, local scene is. Upstairs on 2 was a collection with a lot of emotion and depth. The top floor was closed at the time of my adventure.Read the door on the second floor before entering and enjoy yourself. If you and whomever you visit with enjoy art, I don't see how you wouldn't have a fine time.

I recently visited Madison from the Chicago suburbs for a concert with my daughter. The next day we decided to check out the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art. While it wasn’t what I expected, I was pleasantly surprised. I LOVED the Young at Art exhibit. I can’t even imagine how it would feel to be a child and have art displayed in a museum!! What an absolutely wonderful thing! It was my first time visiting Madison. The employees were very pleasant and helpful. Attached are some photos of my favorite pieces.
