Beyond Museum Walls: The Underground Museum
When late artist Noah Davis opened the doors to the Underground Museum in 2012, he set out to offer an alternative art space that could showcase “museum-quality art to diverse communities for free.” And in 2015, the Arlington Heights creative space entered a long-term partnership with the Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles, to display MOCA’s dormant permanent collections and bring them back to life in a multi-exhibition series.
