創立於 1936 年的 ICA,前身為 Boston Museum of Modern Art,是全美歷史最悠久的當代藝術機構之一,並於 2006 年遷至 Seaport 海濱。建築事務所 Diller Scofidio + Renfro 將這座佔地 65,000 平方呎的建築塑造成一條靈動翻摺的飄帶:波士頓的海濱步道 Harborwalk 順勢攀升為開放予公眾的 Jill Medvedow Grandstand 階梯式看台,再延展至室內化為劇院的地板與天花板;頂層的「展廳箱體」則由四條巨型桁架支撐,大膽懸挑至水岸邊緣。懸臂下方更設有依地勢向海面層層遞降的 Poss Family Mediatheque。館內不設常設展覽,所有展廳皆全數用於輪替特展與全新委託創作。此外,ICA 還營運著季節性開放的免費分館 Watershed;該館由 East Boston 一座舊船廠建築改建而成,訪客可直接從美術館乘搭渡輪前往。
