Open year round with full schedule of live events, changing exhibitions and Sol LeWitt Wall Drawing Retrospective. The brake run is a section of the track meant to slow or stop a coaster's carts giving riders "a moment to collect themselves, for their minds to catch up with their bodies." The helix is a moment in a roller coaster's track when the carts complete at least one 360 degree turn: "a moment of intense g-force and forcible perspectival shift". Housed on a restored 19th century factory campus, MASS MoCA is the largest center for contemporary visual and performing arts in the country. The title of the exhibit, Brake Run Helix, comes from two essential elements required for a functional roller coaster design: a brake run and a helix.
