It is a great museum and has very nice people working

Enjoyed the abstract art and native American art sections. The view from the rooftop is beautiful: you can see the whole downtown.

Went with daughters school trip. First time to this area. Love it!! Going back soon!!

Beautiful space surrounded by glass walls. Collection includes many different styles of art including many media. Displayed with appropriate space and light. Spent an hour appreciating the three major galleries. Convenient location at the Overture Center in downtown Madison.

I collaborated with the museum on a February styled shoot and I was so pleased with my experience! It offers such a gorgeous, bright and open wedding space. The staff were so polite, organized and accommodating! It was a pleasure working with them!

Beautiful space, with some fine permanent installations and frequently interesting special exhibits.

The staff was very informative. Nice place to spend some time without spending money. They had a couple really nice exhibitions I would have been fine spending money to see, the quality was fantastic.

Admittedly, I’m biased since I work for the museum. But I was a fan even before that. Great exhibitions, education stations, a rooftop sculpture garden with gorgeous views, and free admission!

Famous artists, worth seeing even for those who usually go to huge museums. Beautiful building, with a must visit if you have children because their huge room with massive amounts of forms children can put together to truly experience the feeling of an artist. Go there regularly to nurture their young creative. Its free.

Cool art for free, whats not to like

A beautiful building in downtown Madison, highlighting a diverse array of contemporary and local art. Well worth a visit! And its free! (But you should leave a donation of you can.)

Madisons Museum of Contemporary Art is a wonderful building for a number of reasons. Firstly, the price of admission: $0. 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 its 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.

Great atmosphere for a wedding. Did a great job accommodating for the rain too!

Delightful and clean architecture, wholesome and impactful exhibits.

We were looking for some fun and affordable things to do on our last full day in Madison. And nothing is more affordable than free! Free is the best! To add to that, I adore exploring art museums. And I love me some contemporary art!! I mean...really. I was sold in a heartbeat. This was the second museum we visited on the day, following a morning at the Chazen. It is an easy walk between the two, if you are interested, by the way.

A really good collection of artwork and sculptures. Even the architecture of the building symbolizes what it represents.

A small, free art museum. Had some great pieces in the collection. Beautiful, warm building with interesting architecture.

Fascinating, thought provoking, reflection inducing, carefully curated art open to the public free of charge. A wonderful service and a remarkable opportunity.

What a great museum in the heart of Madison. The exhibitions are not massive, but are well curated and different within each other.I was there while the showing of a specific Frida Kahlo drawing was presented, and it was great.I would certainly recommend it, specially because it is free, which is fantastic.

Liked what little I saw, was only going to gift shop for quick look, and get out of wind. Had a childrens display of art work, some very well done in the origami style. Gift had many nice pieces to buy, but Im not currently in the market for a couple of new items, however it was tempting!! Just saw it was free admission, so next when we are in town, or you are in the area... check it out!!

I went to see a veterans gallery, and also other contemporary art. It was interesting to see all that talent, a nice museum.

Building itself is contemporary, cafeteria on the top with the great view on the city. Several modern exhibitions, variety of art approaches. Inspiring!

This museum has some great work on display. I especially appreciated that guests could enter free of charge. I will definitely be returning in the future.

The museum building itself is really beautiful, but I find that the exhibits are hit or miss depending on the season. If you are making a trip and can only go the one museum in Madison, pick the Chazen for their standing collection.

Exquisite art, tons of enjoyable people to talk to, and even free chocolate samples. Def recommend it to anyone who likes art.

Meandered around hallways looking for MMOCA’s display of more than a hundred portraits and finally found said show by meandering through Nathaniel Mary Quinn’s display which was both compelling and intriguing. Plan to make ample time for viewing both. If anything gleaned from this visit was idea that contemporary art is evolving and morphing in strange and interesting ways. Was there on a weekday surrounded by groups of school kids and they were commendably attentive to what they were being told, awestruck, I hope. Go, it’s free and know that Overture staff have no clue where shows are.

Probably one of the more interesting contemporary art museums Ive been to, granted thats very subjective. I enjoyed the exhibits that I saw here, and it was very well-organized and clean. I particularly enjoyed the sculpture garden on the rooftop.

Wonderful little gallery/museum! Big is beautiful.

The museum featured two artists which allowed me as a viewer to absorb and appreciate their work without being overwhelmed sesorily. It was a real stress free experience. The written summaries drew me in, engaged me with the artists history, and enhanced the experience. The store was fun.

Beautiful museum. Great curator. Check out the Wisconsin Triennial. Proud.

Place was amazing and staff are very friendly, little bit costly.

One of the feature is the glass straircase overlooking downtown Madison. I love this place for photoshoot. They have some great art as well

Well curated exhibits. Friendly and helpful staff. Inexpensive parking lot nearby.

Very beautiful as well as friendly staff. There was no fee for admission. They did have Foods set up to receive donations. They had only two galleries available to see that were open. They are renovating and getting ready to open the rest within a month. Cant wait to go back and see the rest! It was very clean and I felt very comfortable and relaxed while viewing all of the art. They even had a tablet with a video showing one of the artists conception from the very beginning of his process all the way to a piece of completed work.

Beautiful art museum with friendly staff.

Madison s a small city. Our artistic institutions are not. MMoCA is among the best in the world. And I love the horse.

The museums store was unique. I couldnt resist buying a bracelet for my wife. Beautiful work made in Israel. The purses from Germany are quite stark but very unique. If youre a shopper you should definitely stop by. The ladies were most helpful.

Nice place to kill an hour or two.

Madisons No. 1 for world-quality contemporary art exhibitions. A beautiful space complimented by an intelligent, informed staff. Every visit to this Madison treasure is an awakening inspiration to art & life.

Great place to spend time. It is clean, the staff are friendly, it is a large beautiful building and it has some very interesting and unique pieces of art. They also have some activities for kids. If you are used to going to very large museums with very famous artists you will be disappointed since they do not have many commonly known artists and paintings.

Its a pretty small Museum, but its free, and its got some cool pieces. you probably only need about 30 minutes to see the whole museum, but since all the exhibits rotate fairly frequently, youre likely to see something new the next time you go. Theyre a bunch of other free small museums in the area, so if you wanted to spend more time Museuming, this is definitely a worthwhile part of your tour of Downtown Madison.

Shopped in the gift shop. Amazing inventory... I love artful items that reflect individuality and creativity. Nice textiles, jewelry, glass,...

Theres a wide variety of art to look at, so if you dont like one thing, there are many other things to look at, and the people who work there are pretty nice too.

Beautiful museum with free admission. Really enjoyed the Jeffrey Gibson exhibition.

Great place. Loved the artwork. Amazing artists, extremely peaceful.

A lovely place to enjoy the art museum atmosphere and discover underappreciated artists and styles for completely free. Great for a broke college student weekend or just for one of the few Madison experiences you dont have to pay for

Great exhibits that change fairly often and it was free at least when I went

A lovely small contemporary art museum. I was very impressed with the amount of Chicago imagist works they have in their permanent collection.

The desk person would not let my father take pictures of my son and me here even though we were not taking commercial photos or for profit. They should be trained better in their own policy.

Really fantastic free modern art museum just steps away from the Madison Capitol Building! Four floors of rotating exhibits, plus the great views from the rooftop sculpture garden cannot be missed! Managable to finish in an hour or so, but Ive rarely seen a free museum with art of this caliber.

Another fantastic world-class collection right here in Madison. We are fortunate for a collection like this available to students, residents, and visitors alike. Conveniently located downtown /campus with ample parking with accessible parking and entrances.

This is small museum in the heart of Madison. However their exhibits are beautiful and the space inviting.

Beautiful space but not a whole lot to look at unless there is an event going on. Was there on a Saturday. Only bathroom I was told about was on the third floor, so nothing on the main one. Going up the stairs I found there wasnt much to see on second or third floors. Weird.

Nice place to take the kids on a rainy, wet day. Enjoyed the art on display as well.

Amazing art and ambience. Could spend hours here

A wonderful place for a date night or a solo wander through the galleries. They usually have a great kids activity in one of the galleries. Stop at the top for a snack or a cocktail.

It was pretty. Very informative.

Interesting collection. Not very big but since admission is free you can enjoy it and then feel free to leave and have coffee in one of the nearby shops. Looks like an interesting restaurant on the top floor but wasnt open when we were there.

Beautiful works in house every time Im there. 10/10

Small but interesting collecting. Nice light + steps + staff. Stop by for sure.

There are always new and interesting exhibits up, and the staff are always friendly and helpful.

Loved the museum Will have to come back in future

3 floors of contemporary art in a beautiful building. Located in downtown Madison, so the location is fantastic. No complaints here, just go an experience the museum yourself. Plan to spend 1-2 hours here.

We had so much fun here! Great place to bring your family.

Wonderful free exhibits, a cool rooftop restaurant, and beautiful items in their gift shop.

Has many interesting pieces of art. Worth the visit. 2 hrs is a good time at this place

Really fun variety. Great place to spend an hour checking stuff out. Would recommend!

Lots of good stuff.

It was fine. Limited selection for the size of the museum

Inclusive art at its best!

Try the art!

Good museum, neat pieces, had a good time.

Love this place. It is amazing. The staff is wonderful. They bring artists in for a reception and a talk which is spectacular

You know I love me some free art

It was an enjoyable experience. I loved the layout if the building.

A wonderful free art museum. Was very clean, well maintained. Exhibits were wonderful. I was impressed with the Wisconsin artists exhibits!

One of the great places to see art in Madison. Free admission but recommend donations. Cool restaurant on the roof. Amazing view during the summer

Enjoy state street and incredible art here. Its a amazing building and they bring in great artists. Such a wonderful place to stop by.

Great free contemporary art museum.

Really amazing exhibits, movies, events, gift shop.

The major exhibits were closed as new works were going in, so the available works were quite limited. Still, with free admission it is worth an hour or two. If all the exhibits are open, perhaps somewhat longer.

Nice museum with great view

Beautiful space. Emotions on the wall.

Art fair was Excellent!

Total museum. Cool exhibits but the cafe upstairs was dead.

Really awesome exhibits

If you love seeing things from different eras and cultures, this place is for you.

I loved it

Relatively small gallery and exhibition space but Big exhibit was very well curated and the roof top sculpture garden and overall layout were fun and interesting

Beautiful museum

Its a small museum on the State Street. Definitely, not for kids. You can see the entire museum in 10-30 minutes depending on your interest. Just few blocks from Capitol.

Awesome place with great and interesting artists.

Interesting building and free admission but the exposition itself is not very interesting...

If you read about this place on Wikipedia and came to see the dragonfruit painting by Frida Khalo, know that its not on permanent display.It does hold some pretty good contemporary art though.

Great location near the capitol with stunning artwork

Not exactly my cup of tea but a very interesting, and free museum

These guys do such a fantastic job here. This is certainly one of the treasurers of Madison.

Pretty neat little museum. Definitely worth checking out. They have events and music sometimes.

Very beautiful place to enjoy art

Wonderful gem of a museum.
