The ICA museum is a beautiful space with spectacular views of the Boston Harbor. The museum store is worth a browse for its fun colorful artsy items. The gallery is on the fourth floor. There isn't very much art to see. I thought the space could be used better to include more art or exhibitions. The main exhibit, Derrick Adams: View Master, was visually striking, but I didn't connect much with it. Instead, the long hallway that served as a lookout onto the busy harbor left a more lasting impression. The best part about the ICA museum is that the admission ticket comes with a boat ride to the ICA Watershed across the harbor. There's an exhibit there that's in a huge warehouse-like building with a giant fish sculpture on the roof where a giant screen projected a video of moving water in the dark. It's pretty cool.

On Sunday morning our family of six adults visited the Institute of Contemporary Art overlooking Boston Harbor. I wish I could say it was a wonderful experience but it was just okay. The building itself is very impressive, with a great viewing area of the Harbor. But there were only two exhibits being shown on the fourth floor. They were interesting and some pieces were thought provoking, but not enough to justify the admission. Perhaps we were there at a bad time.

The Indigenous Present exhibit was absolutely beautiful in design and the displays are thought provoking and visually appealing. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for one of its Senior Staff. My Member buddy and I had the unfortunate experience of witnessing a man wearing a suit, with short brown hair, in a drunken state. He was called Steve by other Staff.It's disturbing and disgusting to see a Manager? in charge of Museum Staff, behave so callously in a space that is otherwise so welcoming.I observed him on Sunday, Jan 11, being unnecessarily rude with the Visitor Assistants in the gallery and raising his voice with one female Staff member. When I approached him, to ask about other programs/exhibits, I could smell alcohol on him, noticed his face was flush and that he was visibly shaking. He was standoffish and curt and continued his stupor as he stumbled throughout the exhibit rooms, in full display of everyone in attendance. My concern is his treatment of fellow Staff, his conduct with other Visitors and the risk he presents to the treasured artwork around him. HR needs to be made aware of this, before he becomes a serious liability inside (and outside) the Museum.

World class modern art museum! and a great gift store in a beautiful location. We happened to go when there was a free jazz concert going on which was lovely. The little cafe was a treat.

Unique exhibits. Beautiful location and views harborside. Cafe. Free coat room available. Clean bathrooms. Pleasant experience.
