Jacksonville Museum of Modern Art
The Jacksonville Museum of
Modern Art, or MOCA, also known as the Museum of Contemporary Art,
Jacksonville was opened in 2003 as part of the revitalization of the
downtown area and is also a great resource for the University of
North Florida. It sits inside a restored historic building that held
the Western Union Telegraph, with six floors of marvelous exhibits;
five of which are rotating and one permanent, with educational
rooms, an atrium gallery, auditorium, museum gift shop, Cafe Nola
and the ArtExplorum Loft Children's interactive center. It is an
enticing venue to learn about art in the present age, with artworks
by Ed Paschke, Hans Hofmann, James Rosenquist and Joan Mitchell.
