| An industrial revolution factory building in North Adams was transformed
into the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art a few years ago. The MIT
Club of Boston has organized a guided tour to the museum. Among other things
we will see Yankee Remix, an exposition that began with a simple premise:
that artists would use the collection of the Society for the Preservation of
New England Antiquities (SPNEA) to make new works of art for MASS MoCA.
SPNEA's collection encompasses domestic artifacts (such as furniture,
paintings, and kitchenware), archival material (photographs, letters,
architects' drawings), and houses (including the modernist Gropius House,
the 17th-century Coffin House, and Beauport, a Victorian Fantasy)
On Saturday November 15th a bus will depart from the Sloan Parking lot at
11AM headed to the Museum. On the way we will watch a family friendly
movie. At arrival club members can have a good lunch at one of the two
restaurants in the compound (lunch not included). At 2:30 PM MassMoCa has
prepared a guided visit for us while kids can spend some time at the kids
space that has art exhibits and creative activities.
The total cost is $33 per adult and $28 per kid (under 12). That includes
the round trip transportation, the museum entrance, and the guided tour. The
bus will head back to Boston at 5:00 PM to arrive at around 7:30 PM back at
SLOAN. |
Location: Meet at Sloan Parking lot on Amherst St., Amherst St., Cambridge, MA
