The community-owned Museum of Contemporary Art (MoCA) is a small gem of a museum nestled into the quaint Alpine town of Neufreistadt. The clean, block architecture of this museum, a sharp contrast to the surrounding fachwerks, provides the perfect backdrop for exhibits of excellent works of art by some of the best artists in Second Life.
The MoCA is currently open to applications for lead Curator. To apply for the position or to find out more, please contact the Leader of the Representative Assembly, currently Almut Brunswick in Second Life.
