Had the luxury of attending my stepson’s wedding last weekend! What a gorgeous venue!!

Small, but unique. I had always wanted to stop in. They take donations. I was only there for about 30 minutes. Worth it to check out.

I think this museum is perfect in size, layout, and location. Big enough to house a small number of installations with an intimate feel. Its not too exhaustive so you can enjoy all art even if you visit to see one artist.

What an amazing addition to the artistic scene in Detroit. Nothing stuffy or formal... just enough to pique your interest, without overtaxing the senses. Best of all the entrance fee is whatever you can afford to donate! The MoCaD is a must see!

Neat space but a lot of blasphemous "art".

I found out about this place on instagram Detroit bucket list page. I was really excited about taking my son to this place and we enjoyed really glad we went. The artwork really inspired my son in ways I just didn’t expect so that was awesome. They Detroit bucket list pads on IG did show a bookstore that we were looking forward to seeing but there was no bookstore only the gift shop with a few books but the bartender was great and the drink options were and mix between trendy and old fashioned. This place is donation based so please donate what you can because it’s worth it.

Love the space. Love the atmosphere. Good location. Last night was the most crowded show we’ve been to here. Almost felt like too many tickets were sold? Appreciate the water dispenser up at the bar but it was really hard to get to it through the crowd. Sad that no coffee was available this time. (Yeah, we are old.) Overall a good experience but not sure why we had to wait in line for so long after the start time of 8pm to get inside, though... The older I get the more I wish shows would start on time.

Amazing gallery with regular new exhibits and lovely staff

Ten minute experience

Closed till April

Always a good place

Couldn't get into parking lot. Parking machine charged our credit card at least 2 times; yet, the arm never raised. We parked on the and couldn't find the entrance. What we did it was closed for a private showing.

Wonderful museum

Was shocked at this place, didn't honestly expect much just because it is a smaller building but they've managed to get a lot in there, also a nice touch with a lot of emphasizing on what Michigan did for different war efforts.

Small and cozy with an amazing collection of WW2 military equipment. Took a couple scouts to work on Military Heritage badge. They walked away after talking to a retired soldier the importance of making peace and seeking peaceful solutions. They say no knows or understand why to avoid war more than an old soldier. Great lesson for a couple of teenage boys. Take your kids to this place, well worth it.

Was a great experience

Great little excursion. Very affordable and educational

Great experience! Free, monitored parking on site. $5 donation suggested upon entry. Screening required upon entry; your choice of self screening on your phone or staff assisted screening. Large, industrial themed open spaces feature a variety of contemporary, rotating exhibits in a building that was (many years ago) a car dealership. Quaint museum shop offers apparel and gifts you will actually use. The cafe features amazing coffee and snacks to add to the enjoyment of your visit.

Wonderfully curated modern museum. The DIA may get all the hype but MOCAD has the true spirit of Detroit.

Perfect end to a brunch date. Went to the MoCAD on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't crowded so we got to enjoy all of the exhibits to ourselves. They work off donations so give what you can do they can stay open! They also have a bar and refreshments for purchase during your visit.

Outstanding art exhibits and a quite cafe with delicious drinks.

Excellent exhibit featuring jazz and Sun Ra. It's a pay what you wish admission fee. But recommend paying as much as you can - this is a wonderful space and needs to be successful

Take a virtual tour of this fabulous Museum of Contemporary and Modern Art. Considered to house one of the best art collections in the United States, the Institute showcases everything from mummies to modern art and African masks to Monets in its outstanding collection of over 65,000 works. Don't miss the General Motors Center for African American Art, a part of the DIA which showcases 400 pieces, in various media, by African American artists.

Stopped here and I loved it! They had the Christmas exhibit outside , I enjoyed the museum and It’s a nice lowkey spot with cool and interesting art

LOVED this museum. The staff are knowledgeable and kind, the work is beautifully shown and installed, the space is huge! You can feel an incredible level of care - for the art, for the community, for Detroit, for the public. Wish I lived closer so I could be back soon 👋🏽

entry by donation, so please donate what you can. MOCAD was a great sunday funday stop in the D. they had 5 different exhibits by some amazing artists. Staff is super friendly. If you have time, stay for a drink on their cafe (espresso bar or full cockatil bar)

Newest addition to Detroit museum scene with open, minimalist space(s) and lots of great art shows and speakers. A personal favorite aspect is a permanent installation behind the building that is a full scale replica of the artist’s childhood home that visitors can walk through and hang out in.

Wonderful museum. Turned out to be the perfect venue for a wedding and reception. These photos were take by MeandHim Photography.

We really enjoyed walking through the space during Noel Night. Staff was friendly, exhibits interesting, and there was plenty of space to maneuver even on a very crowded night as when we went. The steel drum band was fun and entertaining. Would happily return again.

place is amazing to go too, can't wait to be able to visit again. always find something new to look at. if you never been it's a must go

I was very impressed with their expressions of commitment to artists and equality.

Very cool gallery with some great modern artists.

Pretty small. Collection not all that... but maybe I went at a bad time.

Great museum. They also host great music shows.

It’s a great place to visit in downtown Detroit. Great art and dope music venue.

They need to find bigger space and exhibit more.

It was a really nice venue for contemporary arts.

Really awesome little spot. If you are a lover of the arts, support these guys. If you don't like art, support these guys.

Lovely paintings

love this place

Museum staff was friendly, and I enjoyed the exhibitions that are currently in the museum. There were 3 exhibits that took my group about an hour to walk through.

#cancelrichardprince

The venue is a great resource.

Came to Detroit this weekend from NC. Planned museum day for Sunday. Drove an hour in from where I’m staying to find a poster on the door closed for private event with lights off and no one inside. Disappointing.

Love this museum!

Drove all the way, but it was closed due to Lincoln. They should have said it somewhere.

It's not open for business yet but it's beautiful inside.

Very cool modern art museum

Most of the art is "interesting" to say the least, the christmas piece during the day was kinda cool to see but ultimately definitely a little strange... didn't see during night but heard it is better than during the dat.

(Translated by Google) An excellent cultural alternative in Detroit. They have parking. (Original) Una excelente alternativa cultural en Detroit. Tienen estacionamiento.

Sorry, but I don't get it 🤪 but nice people with good customer service! ✌😉

Good

I hid a dollar in the microwave at RoboLights.

It was a cool place mix indoor and outdoor displays. And it’s up to donations,I recommend this place for hanging out.

Love to take the grandson here

Robolights exhibit is a must see while it is in town!

VERY contemporary. Christmas exhibit is not for little ones.

Had a work party here and it was a very nice experience.

Great exhibit. Friendly dude guy man at the counter. Definitely a touch of artfulness for this uncultured swine. 👍👍

Attended a beautiful wedding here... the exhibits were very nice

Weird but cool.

The best If your looking for something to do on the cheap.

Excellent venue!! Staff is great!

This place does a great job of curating interesting installations! I highly recommend a visit here if you're ever in the area!

Robolights was very cool

Fascinating, historical gem in Eastpointte. Had no idea I his place existed. Must see local museum!!!

So much history here. I little known gem in the area. I will be visiting again. Was there for RRiveter film what great 1 1/2 hour. Need to sell tickets many think donation means free. If not supported locally it wont be around long. At least pay entrance fee other museums have them. Well worth visiting to see what they have and remember donations of all types appreciated.

Amazing little museum with cool weapons, POW art, and more. Definitely worth the stop!

The museum is so well cared for. The items are presented in such a unique and respectful way. Everytime I come I learn something new. It's a wonderful place to experience history.

Great place! Just go!

Excellent museum overall within SE Michigan. A great staff and an excellent place for presentations, meetings, and gaming. Be sure to attend the Museumfest event, held 2-3 times per year.

Great place to learn about the military.

Good place to visit for Veterans

Love this place. Very nice people. Alot of history here. Would come back again.

If you're into military history, the museum is worth the trip.

Very good place to visit. Staff was professional and told really interesting stories about the museum and history. Strongly recommended to visit.

Best place EVER!!! Amazing stories and amazing staff. Lots of different exhibits. A small museum with a big heart.

This Museum is a great gem in southeastern Michigan. It tells the great story of the Arsenal of Democracy in Detroit. Chris shows us the best of the Wars and you wouldn't be disappointed. As a member, you will see the many guest speakers who come to this great museum. They even have a Rosie the Riveter display. Please visit them.

Just fine.interesting.

Great place

Amazing help from the MIMTHS on completing an elective for the Cub Scouts. Truly great people, lots of info and items. Will definitely go back!

Loved it!!

Alysa and I have visited this museum many times, and there is always something new to learn and discover. Today we visited for a Labor Day ringing of bells for the Rosies. There were seven original Rosies in attendance, and a chapter is now run out of the museum. Anyone interested in learning about the military in Michigan, Eastpointe's NASA astronaut Jerry Linenger, or observing artifacts from many different wars, will enjoy this museum. It's a great destination in Eastpointe and I'm happy they are a part of the community.

This is a nice little museum where you will learn about how Michigan contributed to the fight for freedom in the 20th to 21st century (WW1 to Iraq/Afghan conflicts)

My Pastor held a memorial day service there to remember all the vets . It was short but phenomenal. Very heartfelt. The facility was awesome. I had no idea this place existed. Phenomenal displays, and it really makes you more grateful for the Veterans that served our Country. It is not huge, but it has a great deal of history there. Definitely worth seeing. It is civilian ran and no public dollars. They have done an amazing job.

Great visit good family place for kids to learn

Outstanding. Very informative

Great staff! So much information to take in. Give yourself extra time here =)

Nice displays, very educational.

Recognizes Michigan contribution to our military

Amazing place! Very knowledgeable staff and fabulously priced!

Tons to see and a great staff!

The Best, Great Military Museum

Incredibly disappointed to see the anti-Israel exhibit summer 2021. This sort of politics, including talk of "settler colonialism" (describing people who are actually native to the region??) and "institutionalized violence," without any context for what is an incredibly complex situation, should have no place in an art museum.

Well worth a visit. Great space, somehow both small & large. Free to enter (donations accepted/encouraged) and free parking.

It was a thought provoking and eclectic collection of pieces, especially the current showing of collaborative projects, however the video presentation left me feeling slightly perplexed. Over all, a very positive experience.

Great exhibits, more liberal hypocrisy though

My teen children, husband and I love this museum. Every time there is an exhibit that sparks conversation. Admission is free but we always give a donation. A must see.

Really wonderful exhibits! It took us an hour to go through. Pay What You Can with a suggested donation of 5$.

Great museum. Its free and there's even a coffee shop, so you can enjoy a cup after seeing some authentic modern art. It a very wide open setting with no walls and plenty of room to enjoy yourself. There wasn't a lot of people when I went, but you could tell that many have been here. It isn't huge, but there is a nice variety.

Had a great time. Went to see the Terracotta Warriors, and saw some other displays. Ragnar Kjartansson was a great experience. A group of people in an old home in NY, various different rooms all start playing a song. You see each of the musicians playing on different screens around the room.

I love contemporary art, I was really disappointed there was not more. Detroit is filled with art but this museum was extremely scarce.

Definitely stop by and see the new art that cycles through. It's free and they take donations to make sure the museum never goes away so definitely go support ur creative community

Went for the winter exhibit party and was so pleasantly surprised! I hadn’t been to MOCAD before but it was always something I wanted to check off my list. The vibes were great at the event and the drinks were reasonably priced too. I can’t wait to come back.

MoCAD is a low key art center, showing local artists. Tons of space for digital projections and an informal study hall/café.

Lovely experience. Supports bipoc artists and flows nicely. staff is chill.

Large uninviting space. Nothing personal about the experience. What I find remarkable is that in a city with 84% people of color, I did not see one brown face among the staff or vendors. They have to do better than that. Neat, clean and seems to be well run.

This was our second visit. Thoroughly enjoyed it this time, too. Staff is great and the exhibits are 1st class. Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys local and indigenous artists.

Beautiful exhibits. Coffee shop/bar onsite. Entry fee is suggested donation. Small enough to combine with a visit to other nearby museums.

Well I went here with no knowledge really what to expect so I don’t know if I had my expectations hi or if it just wasn’t my idea of what I think artist. It’s very contemporary there is five exhibit so look at all to be seen within about two minutes. Need to check out but I don’t think I’ll be back. It’s not my forte.

Fantastic selection of local artists and other emerging works, with shows frequently cycled.

Phenomenal space with so many great exhibits that always inspire my creativity! I love it

Great art, esp. Diego Rivera, and every other genre. Museum staff is so friendly and helpful. Stay the day and have a delicious lunch in a roomy setting. A day of delight. I'm from Hartford, CT., and I visit the DIA with my family who lives here, every time I'm in town. And FREE to residents of Wayne County!
