Overview
Founded in 1935 as the first West Coast museum devoted to modern and contemporary art, a thoroughly transformed San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, with enhanced gallery, education, and public spaces, opened on May 14, 2016. The Snøhetta-designed expansion, which incorporates the renovated Mario Botta building that opened in 1995, includes 170,000 square feet of new and renovated galleries tailored to the collection, enabling SFMOMA to display more of its outstanding holdings of more than 33,000 modern and contemporary artworks by Alexander Calder, Chuck Close, Frida Kahlo, Jackson Pollock, Gerhard Richter, Richard Serra, Cindy Sherman, and numerous others, along with postwar and contemporary artworks from the renowned Doris and Donald Fisher Collection and an entire floor dedicated solely to photography. With six art-filled terraces, private and public tours, a variety of dining options, a new sculptural staircase and Roman steps where the public can gather, and free admission for visitors age 18 and under, SFMOMA is more welcoming and more connected to the city than ever before.
