MASS MoCA has earned the honor of largest contemporary art museum in the country with the recent debut of its newest expansion, dubbed 'Building 6.' The museum's footprint has nearly doubled with the new building — a trek through the exhibits is now a more than 4-mile walk.

We spoke with the director about the museum's relationship with its artists given its location in the Berkshires and its expansive space.

Guest

Joseph Thompson, director of the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art in North Adams.

This segment aired on June 9, 2017.
