The Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit or MOCAD is a non-collecting contemporary art museum located in Detroit's cultural center. The mission of the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit is to present art at the forefront of contemporary culture. As a non-collecting institution, MOCAD is responsive to the cultural content of our time, fueling crucial dialogue, collaboration, and public engagement. MOCAD is housed in a building, a converted former auto dealership designed by architect Andrew Zago. The architecture is intentionally raw and unfinished. == Exhibition history == MOCAD's exhibition history dates to the opening of its first exhibition ''Meditations in an Emergency'' on October 28, 2006.
