The acronym in the name of this unconventional Loft District event space stands for “Mausoleum of Contemporary Art,” and it’s not some sort of hifalutin metaphor—this building actually served as a showroom for a family-owned tombstone/mausoleum-making business that operated until the 1960s. Nowadays it’s anything but dead. The building, which still boasts its original, slightly-unsettling-but-very-cool exterior, is proudly multipurpose, host to hundreds of events a year ranging from live music and film screenings to burlesque and poetry readings.
