Rachel WhinneryJuly 30, 2015It's free and pretty quick. Why not stop in and see the exhibit on display? Not very crowded when I went.
Jeremy BekerNovember 11, 2014Fun little (free) museum. Be sure to make it up to the third level where they have records you can listen to.
Michelle RobertsNovember 28, 2011MoCP always does a good job of bringing comprehensive contemporary work to Chicago. Don't forget that the gallery space continues on 2nd and 3rd floors.
Connie ChiuDecember 19, 2014It's VERY small. May have been my luck and taste, but did not love the exhibit when I visited. Good thing is that it's free/suggested donation.
Beata YangNovember 30, 2014For someone who doesn't know much about photography... It's just a 10-min visit...
