Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston
Seaport, Boston, United States
The Institute of Contemporary Art gives Boston’s waterfront a purposeful cultural anchor. Its striking building frames a changing programme of contemporary work, so the exhibition calendar matters as much as the architecture when deciding to visit. The harbour setting makes a useful change of mood after the older streets and traditional collections elsewhere in the city. Come with an open mind, give unfamiliar work some time, and leave space for a walk along the water afterwards.
