== Premise == Shot over a three-year period, ''Museum Town'' profiles the history and identity of the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MASS MoCA), one of the largest centers for contemporary visual art and performing arts in the United States. The film documents the conceptualization of American artist Nick Cave's critically acclaimed, monumental found-object installation ''UNTIL'', which traveled from MASS MoCA to the Momentary in Bentonville, Arkansas, and Carriageworks in Sydney, Australia.<ref>https://www.artnews.com/art-news/artists/rethinking-the-town-hall-nick-cave-on-until-his-massive-mass-moca-installation-8218/</ref><ref>https://carriageworks.com.au/events/nick-cave-until-2018/</ref><ref>https://themomentary.org/calendar/nick-cave-until/</ref>
