The MCA has a great selection of rotating exhibitions, most featuring the work of living artists or retrospectives of contemporary greats. Increasingly visitor-friendly, spending some time at the MCA will give you a lot to think on, in the best sense possible. Social events like their Tuesday jazz program and First Fridays are also a fun way to see the art & meet new people.
PROS: Great, new art. Little buttons free with admission
CONS: Rarely displays permanent collection
