Even on a tight schedule, Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) earns the hours.
Allow 1.5-2 hours.
A sharp, focused contemporary collection in genuinely great architecture — the cantilevered galleries and the 'Mediatheque' window framing the harbor are as memorable as the art. The catch: it's small for the price, the rotating contemporary shows are hit-or-miss depending on your taste, and traditional-art lovers may find it thin.
