ICA的前身是创立于1936年的Boston Museum of Modern Art,是美国历史最悠久的当代艺术机构之一,于2006年迁至Seaport滨水区。Diller Scofidio + Renfro将这座面积达65,000平方英尺的建筑设计为折叠缎带的形态:Boston的Harborwalk延伸抬升,化作向公众开放的Jill Medvedow Grandstand,随后融入室内,构成剧场的地面与天花板;顶层的“画廊展厅”则由四座巨大的桁架支撑,凌空悬挑至水畔。悬挑结构下方,Poss Family Mediatheque呈阶梯状向海港倾斜延伸。馆内不设永久陈列,所有展厅均用于举办定期轮换的特展与最新委约创作。此外,ICA还在East Boston的一座由造船厂改建的建筑中运营免费季节性分馆Watershed,观众可从主馆乘坐渡轮前往。
