Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) waterfront building

The Institute of Contemporary Art relocated to a cantilevered waterfront building on Fan Pier in 2006. Its dramatic glass-and-steel facade and harbor-facing terraces create striking vistas that are frequently photographed and shared online. The ICA programs rotating contemporary art exhibitions and outdoor installations that often produce widely circulated images. The museum's plaza and silhouette are common subjects in travel and art photography posts.
