The MCA is situated just in front of the water, with views of the Sydney Opera house and right next to the Harbour bridge. With 3 floors of contemporary art, starting with more emerging artists on the first floor, going up to it's permannent collection on the second and then usually a mindblowing solo show from an established artist or group show. You can finish your visit with a lovely meal and drinks on the fourth floor, which offers some of the best views of Sydney.
