A wonderful modern art museum with a fascinating array of contemporary artist & exhibits. The current "Yayol Kusama Show" is deceptively simple, just 3 installations: 2 with interactive art (2 mins. allowed in each room) and the fabulous gigantic pumpkin tea pot (10 -12 Ft. long) and multi-lit walkway on the 6th floor. 3 Cafes': "Grace" full menu, 2nd floor "Steps Coffee Stop" & "Cafe 5" on the 5th floor are perfect for quick lunch or afternoon "break". Parking Garage: is on Minna Street a right turn off 3rd Street "just past the Museum's front entrance (on Minna go to "2nd garage entry").

A very good modern museum, and extra point for staging the yayoi show The permanent exhibitions have lots of reknowned and not so reknowned names. Famous ones - warhol, rothko, picasso, kahlo, matisse, mondrien, indiana, calder etc. just to name a few The yayoi exhibition has 2 rooms (2 min each), and a newly done (2023) giant pumpkin(s). Tickets sell out months in advance Multiple cafes to rest your feet at 9/10

Beautiful building housing a variety of collections. Modern art isn’t my favorite but I thoroughly enjoyed my visit. The exhibits are thought-provoking and there is something for everyone here. The outdoor spaces offer a breath of fresh air and quiet. Large windows with seating offer a fun view of the city and photo opportunities. This museum is large and does not feel crowded so one can relax and immerse themselves in the art.

This is a terrific museum in a beautiful large, light, airy building. There is so much here of different styles and tastes that you can't fail to find exhibits that will hold your attention. Start from the top and work your way down. It worked for us. We were also impressed that they don't funnel you through the gift shop at the exit like so many places.

If you enjoy modern art museums, don't miss this one! The building is expansive and filled with natural light. The unexpectedly broad collection is fun, interesting and very well-curated. WIth only a few free hours, we weren't able to participate in any of the great programming on offer, or snack at the beautiful rooftop cafe, but we did make sure to swing by the wonderful museum store.

I had a few hours to spare on my last morning in San Francisco so made a beeline for SF MOMA. We only had 90 minutes to dash around but it was doable and we saw practically everything there was to see; though of course not really taking the time to read everything. Aside, I do wish museums would do a quick-timed discounted ticket with a beeper to let you know when your time is up to leave so that folks with limited time can whiz around without having to pay full price. Even if they charged $10 for a 2-hour ticket first thing at opening and last thing before closing, they'd still be making money....and perhaps more from the folks deterred by wasting money on a general admission ticket when they don't have the time to truly appreciate it all. We saw Yayoi Kusama's Pumpkin which had a room to itself as well as her Infinity Mirror room titled: Dreaming of Earth's Sphericity, I would Offer My Love. There were some amazing Andy Warhol pieces plus beautiful works by Richard Artschwager, Gerhard Richter, Cady Noland, Robert Colescott and Roy Lichtenstein just to name a few faves. There was a whole collection using various materials by Anselm Kiefer which I enjoyed! Do remember to visit the outdoor spaces too! I loved the bronze Big big Penny and Robert Indiana's LOVE in the Sculpture garden on the 5th Floor as well as a large piece by Alexander Calder next to the Living green wall on the 3rd floor patio. Not to be missed! The museum shop is one of the best-stocked and I only wish my suitcase had space to take something to display back home. You can visit the shop without visiting the museum. Lovely experience and highly recommend it for all art-lovers!
