		Governor William Weld eventually changed his mind after the museum raised $8 million dollars from private sources--including more than $1 million brought in by a local citizens' campaign--and after MASS MoCA director Joseph Thompson and his colleagues retooled their concept of the museum toward a more diversified, high-tech and business-friendly program.

		Besides art and cultural facilities set in a forested, 75 acre area, there is a sculpture park, an outdoor school, vistas, open areas, and nature walks offering bits of quiet pleasure for all ages.
		And while the Japanese entry into the field of contemporary art exhibition may lack the "MASS" of MASS MoCA, it competes quite handily with its aura of oriental refinement, relaxing ambiance, and sedate style as compared to its Massachusetts counterpart's typically American emphasis on enormous, overwhelming, freewheeling SIZE alone.
