I never tire of spending time in the galleries at Mass MoCA. The designers of the conversion from a New England factory to a n art museum were absolutely brilliant. They sanded and varnished the original floors but, in this case, left the finish on the floor to ceiling poles. It is so fascinating to look at all the areas in the different galleries that still have the original finish on walls and supports. It is such a rich experience that is so different from most museums which are built and painted. This museum is so rich with history, reminding of us of its original purpose - manufacturing things. In this case it was capacitors for use in electronics, manufactured by Sprague Electric Company.
