Situated at 158 Sterling Road, Toronto, ON M6R 2B7 and at the heart of the art ecosystem MOCA is located on the traditional land of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, and respectfully acknowledges the work of the Anishinaabe, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat peoples who creatively expressed themselves since time immemorial.

Through its work and relations between people, cultures, geographies, outlooks, approaches, and natural forces, the museum is a place for everyone to explore that provokes ideas and discussion and challenges the current cultural moment.
