Boston, MA
A contemporary art space that sometimes shares shows with the likes of La Jolla, MOCA Chicago, Walker Art Center, and other second-​tier (non MOMA) venues. Has debuted many artists that hit the big time a decade or more later. Also has a free map of self-​guided walking tours of MIT’s on-​campus public art collection.
Friendly staff, genuinely interested in art. Always free (donations appreciated) and open to the general public. Has public outreach, including free family-​friendly events. See their website and/​or sign up for their email list.
Don’t try to drive there on weekdays, take the MBTA. Free parking available off-​hours only.

This is the perfect spot for checking out some art on a lazy weekend day. At least this is what I did, and since the place practically consists of four galleries, it does not take very long. That said, some of the coolest stuff that I found there was audio-​visual art (e.g., Hans Op de Beeck), and I found some of this so fascinating, that I stayed to watch it repeatedly.

Great exhibitions of contemporary art. Close to the Kendall Square T stop. Typically free. Sometimes there are nice opening events
