MASS MoCA came into being after the 1986 closing of Sprague Electric, a vast manufacturing facility with the space to exhibit large works of contemporary art that would not fit in conventional museum galleries, something that Williams College Museum of Art director Thomas Krens, who would later become Director of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, was interested in. Get driving directions to North Adams, MA.
