Go for the art and stay for the view. Or go for the view and stay for the art. Either way you?ll love Boston?s new Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA). The hulking concrete, wood and glass waterfront building is an ultramodern home for the ICA?s permanent collection and special exhibitions. The art is well-paced and accessible, and it hits every medium, from paints and prints to sculptures and animation. Don?t miss the oversize parrot by Sergio Vega on the outside harbor walk. In addition to its colorful plumage, the sculpture houses a working phone--and local calls are free.
