UP: Madison Museum of Contemporary Art. For the first time in its 110-year history, the museum owns its building, purchasing its part of the Overture Center for $1, as agreed upon late last year by the Common Council. The museum now owns 51,500 square feet of interior space in the Overture Center, including the 7,100-square-foot rooftop sculpture garden, the museum store and Fresco restaurant.
