I'm glad these museums have been mentioned. I'm recommending to anyone who
is in the Berkshires of Mass. to see Mass MoCA (Museum of Contempory Art).
It is FANTASTIC! I've seen much in my young (LOL) years, and this museum is
really incredible. It reminded me of the exhibits I saw at the world famous
Biennalli (sp?) Exhibit this summer in Venice. This is a mini version of
that.
Also, the Clark Museum is also worth seeing. I know we were keeping to USA
museums, however, The Museum of Contempory Art in Rome (for anyone planning a
trip there) is a must-see!
