San Francisco’s Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) has a long history of encouraging and displaying 20th century art. In fact, the museum, founded in 1935, was the first west coast museum to be devoted solely to that period.
About the Museum
Since 1995, SFMOMA has been located in the city’s “South of Market” (SOMA) district in a dramatic building designed by Mario Botto. Highlights of the museum’s collection include works by Paul Klee, Ansel Adams, Jackson Pollack, and Marcel DuChamp.
Temporary Exhibits
The museum augments its permanent collection with regular traveling exhibits. Recent shows have included “Matisse: Painter as Sculptor” and “The Surreal Calder.”
Hours and Admission
SFMOMA is open Thursdays through Tuesdays, except for New Years Day, the 4th of July, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day. The museum is open late on Thursdays and closed on Wednesdays. Admission is $12.50 for adults, $8 for those 62 and older, and $7 for students with ID. The museum is half price on Thursday evenings from 6pm to 9pm and free to all on the first Tuesday of the month.
SFMOMA is located at 151 Third Street in San Francisco, between Mission and Howard Streets. The museum is adjacent to the Yerba Buena Garden cultural center.
