About this film

A town in rural Massachusetts was struggling in the wake of factory closures until a contemporary art museum changed everything. Narrated by Academy Award winning living legend, Meryl Streep, MUSEUM TOWN tells the story MASS MoCA -a singular institution that shaped the fate of an American town in its darkest hour. Featuring original music by bassist of Wilco, John Stirratt, and appearances by countless contemporary art giants, this is the triumphant tale of art’s power to change everything.
