Founded in 1935, SFMOMA was the first museum on the West Coast devoted to modern and contemporary art. From the outset, the museum has championed the most innovative and challenging art of its time, and we continue to exhibit and collect work by both modern masters and younger, less-established artists.
We always have a dynamic schedule of thought-provoking exhibitions on view, including special exhibitions and changing presentations from our collection of more than 27,000 artworks, photographs, and design objects. Audio guides, docent tours, video screenings, interactive kiosks, and public programs offer opportunities to learn more about modern art.
Located just a short walk from downtown San Francisco, our landmark building features a soaring atrium topped by our signature turret and oculus skylight. The MuseumStore offers the West Coast’s finest selection of modern and contemporary art books, as well as exceptional design objects, furniture, jewelry, and children’s products. Meanwhile, our cafe serves gourmet fare in a light-filled space with indoor and outdoor seating.
We invite you to take a closer look and discover all the exciting things that are happening at SFMOMA.
