About
The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (MOCA) is a contemporary art museum which has two locations in Los Angeles. The main museum is located on Grand Avenue in Downtown Los Angeles, near the Walt Disney Concert Hall. The second location is MOCA's original space, initially intended as a temporary exhibit space while the main facility was built. It is now known as the Geffen Contemporary and is located in the Little Tokyo district of downtown Los Angeles. Between 2000 and 2019, it operated a satellite facility at the Pacific Design Center facility in West Hollywood.
The museum's exhibits consist primarily of American and European contemporary art created after 1940. As of 2026, the museum's collection included nearly 8,000 objects. Since the museum's inception, MOCA's programming has been defined by its multi-disciplinary approach to contemporary art.
