Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago (MCA) Ticket - Exhibitions and Sculpture Garden

See every exhibition at the
Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago

When you arrive at the MCA in the heart of downtown Chicago, your ticket gives you access to all exhibitions. Explore the galleries freely at your own pace, without a guide.

Discover ever-changing contemporary art

The museum displays innovative works across painting, sculpture, photography, and multimedia art, and its exhibitions change constantly, so every visit offers something new. From thought-provoking installations to works by artists such as Cindy Sherman, Kerry James Marshall, Rashid Johnson, and Takashi Murakami, get a glimpse of contemporary creative practice.

Learn about a museum built on experimentation and participation

Unlike traditional history-focused museums, the MCA prioritizes experimentation, interdisciplinary art, audience participation, and social responsibility. Conceived as a non-collecting Kunsthalle emphasizing temporary exhibitions and innovation, its early programs included avant-garde "happenings," Fluxus artists such as Alison Knowles, performance art, and works by Dan Flavin.

Explore the sculpture garden and the MCA Store

After the exhibitions, take time to explore the outdoor sculpture garden and finish your visit by browsing unique art books, prints, and souvenirs at the MCA Store.
