SOUNDS OF SILENCE

Last summer the new $22 million Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art opened with fanfare. It’s not been a hit with visitors. “How empty is it? On winter weekdays, MOCA gets about 100 visitors, including school groups. Saturday and Sunday daily attendance at least doubles that number. On some days, there are more children scampering around the newly opened (and free) Kidspace than there are black-turtlenecked cognoscenti ogling the art.” – Boston Globe
