What does the cutting edge of art look like? Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) can give you a glimpse. Established in 1936 as the nation's first non-collecting contemporary art institution, ICA has been the first to show many of the world's most innovative and inspired artists, from Picasso and Warhol to Cindy Sherman and Bill Viola.
A 19th-century police station houses the museum. Exhibits feature the latest in imagination-stretching contemporary photography, painting, sculpture, and architecture. Recently, ICA's offerings have expanded to film and video exhibitions.
