This is one of my favorite museums in Atlanta, the staff is super friendly and super helpful. I always look at their calendar for upcoming events. Also, I really enjoy the broad spectrum of artists they exhibit/represent. The William Downs exhibition in particular was fantastic and has been stewing and bubbling within me since I first saw it. Very excited to have an artist like that being shown here in Atlanta. The Hispanic/Latinx show is also phenomenal and I can't wait to see the future series of installations of the works. I am so glad I became a member of this museum!
This place is small, but we enjoyed ourselves & actually got to speak with one of the artists whose work was on display.
The commenter below me has no idea what she is talking about. I just visited for the second time and had an even more incredible experience than the first! Sweet receptionist is so friendly and knowledgeable of the exhibits and artists - she even knows them personally! She is super passionate and makes going there such a joy!
It's unfortunate that some people take their unhappiness out on other's businesses and experiences. Will DEFINITELY be visiting again!!!
Fairly disappointed from a visitor experience view point. There is no signage outside or once inside to direct visitors to museum. Once you do locate the museum downstairs, it’s labeled as a “research center”. Once inside the space is smaller than expected but that’s not an issue - the work by William Downs is breath taking and a must see.
The issue is the lack of interaction upon check in. The associate is blocked from view by signage, you literally don’t see a person sitting behind the desk. She asked my name, checked me in but offered zero info about the organization or the work on view. When I specifically asked about this I was offered a note card and nothing else. The note card listed upcoming events - this wasn’t helpful at all.
Please improve way finding and employ staff who are interested and excited to share about the work. A one minute introduction to make people feel welcome and offer insight would also help with conversion (if you’re interested in that). I typically prefer smaller museums for this more personal experience so was terribly disappointed in my first visit to MOCA.
I adore going to MOCA. Very Covid friendly and enjoyed having the space practically to myself to view the exhibition. Participated in the recent virtual artist talk and information on the exhibitions is readily available online. The staff has always been super friendly and informative.
Super excited for the new space at the Goat Farm.
