The Diego Rivera mural is in the free section of the museum. Love it. You have to experience it in person. The rest of the museum is full of interesting art on every floor. They have an Alexander Calder display that makes me feel happy. I love this museum. It would take more than one day to see it all.
Going to the Momo is always fun. They typically have one major exhibition going on and then some other fun stuff to look at as well. The cafe is a good place to stop and grab a coffee and take a rest. My favorite is the outdoor living wall, but for some reason probably due to covid, they have removed all the seating which is a big bummer. They were not checking vaccination cards at the door which was great, but they still require masks for everyone except for the mayor of San Francisco, which is less great. We very much enjoyed the current exhibit with the colored glass tunnel, it was really cool. Parking tip, park in the moscone center garage a block away, it's safe and relatively inexpensive.
Great quality timeless pieces that make time stop when you look at them..and just take a moment..there are multiple rooms and levels to see both art and artifacts from a few eras in time. Well worth the visit.
It is a great place for a family weekend, place to to chat, to enjoy art.
Please do park at the SFMOMA parking garage, you will get 10% off parking when you validate with your ticket.
Love the architect of the building and the plants wall.
There is a great indoor/outdoor dining cafe, get a piece of cake, a cup of coffee, then relax.
Amazing musuem full of legendary modern artists. Tickets are free for those 18 and younger. The cafe is a bit pricy, but there's a target, chipolet, and food court directly across from it's entrance.
The building is beautiful and there are many unique displays. Works by Kahlo, Matisse, Rivera and Dali are part of the permanent collection. Robert Indiana s Love sculpture is outside the cafe. A beautiful spot for it. An Indiana Love painting is also on the second floor near a Warhol self portrait. I wasn t impressed with the staff though. The woman at the info booth was not very knowledgeable and there was an extremely rude guy manning some entrance. It should be a place you visit.
I don t know, I am really torn about this museum. Some of the displays were absolutely fantastic but a lot of them were just meh. Perhaps I was coming in with too high of expectations, but for a modern art museum in San Francisco, I just felt that too many of the exhibits were a little bit lacking in creativity and aesthetic appeal. The architecture of the museum is certainly interesting and lends itself well to displaying artwork, and perhaps it s just the exhibits that were on display during our visit (July 2021), but all three of the people in our group were left feeling a little disappointed.
We ve lived in New York for two years, and we went to many museums in NYC and also visited some museums in Paris and London. We had good time in San Francisco MOMA, and enjoyed our time to visit. No matter the display or the building exterior design, we all love it. I highly recommend to visit.
Great architecture, vast collection of art.
This is my favorite museum in San Francisco. No matter what your opinion is on modern art, you can agree that it's interesting. This museum is one of the big museums in the city and houses many many galleries filled with unique pieces that make you think. If you're looking for inspiration, this is where you'll find it. For tickets, adults pay $25, 65 and older pay $22, 19 to 24 year olds pay $19, and people younger than 18 pay nothing.
Spectacular trip. This museum has done an excellent job giving the art lots of room to breathe on the walls. I was inspired rather than overwhelmed. Many interesting shows happening, almost too many to digest. The prism tunnel and the plant wall did not disappoint.
