Amazing art collection. Im so grateful it was open when I visited from Mexico City. The staff is super friendly and nice, and the art exhibits are stimulating and well curated.If you have the time and money to spare, get the pastrami sandwich at the cafeteria. Nothing to write home about, but its a nice place to have lunch and rest half way.

Agnes martin! Must see! Thats I went for. It was beautiful. In a little corner by herself and entire room of her works. Absolutely stunning. Its pretty quiet since its a bit out of the way.

Amazing staff and visitor’s handling during Covid19. Also, free parking and free visits during until October 18th, 2020 I think. Definitely worth visiting....Pictures are worth a thousand words, enjoy

So timed entries and theyre limiting the number of visitors per day per CDC guidelines. I love Pop Art and they have an amazing permanent collection. But a lot of those artists being featured are cis, white men in that collection. Like yawn. I mean, Warhol? Like Im tired. And I love Warhol as a concept. But come on, make space for BIPOC artists and retire these dinosaurs to the basement. They do have this amazing new visual multimedia exhibit on the top floor by black artists. Honestly they should have expanded that curation. Like is that the only real estate they can give BIPOC artists in museums, which is 33% of the floor because apparently the rest of the floor is under construction. So yeah you might see some of that next to the exhibit.

As always, the SF MoMa is an amazing place with one of the best photography collections of any fine arts museums, in addition to all the great works youd expect to find at a world-class museum of modern art. Their interpretive programs and audio guides are well thought out and really help peel back the layers behind a piece. And now, during the COVID-19 pandemic, theyve done a fantastic job of providing access while still keeping safety a priority: masks are required for everyone at all times, in-person capacity has been drastically reduced, there is hand sanitizer everywhere, properly distanced lines with floor markings, well-informed and trained staff, and only galleries where it is possible to properly socially distance are open. There was never any crowding and people (all masked) stayed well within 6ft of distance from each other at all times during a recent visit in November 2020.

Great Contemporary Artists. Local, international, and historic modern artists. The gift shop is hands down the best gift shop in the city. You can get a $5 gift or a very expensive gift, but whatever the price it is gonna be a cool gift. They have the greatest collection of books in their gift shop. I get lost for hours sometimes looking at them. They get very annoyed with me Im sure. Lol they have never said anything to me for staying in there for 4 hours one time looking at all of their great impressive collection of books. Guarantee you can find something for anyone in there. Yes even someone who has everything.

It is amazing to find new great exhibition every time I visit. Calders mobiles are awesome!

A beautiful museum! Innovative displays of great art!

A very intuitive experience for paintings which were across from different regions.This is my first time visit to kind of these places, definitely a very big space for so many paintings.They have wide variety of wall paintings but the most I liked are some real creative hangings, entrance and exit of each floor, it has 7 floors, open place in the restaurant which has LOVE and a cent figures. They are the best with kids even. They will enjoy too.Bottom line, if you kind of in love with paintings, it is a must visit.

Love this place, but wish they changed out their exhibits more often. Even 6 months later I’m seeing a lot of the same stuff. Not sure there’s really a reason to come back.

MOMA museum did not disappoint.It had been years since we visited and the level of art and variety was wonderful.You start by checking your bags in for free. Once you buy your tickets, it’s very easy to make your way through each exhibit and each floor.Everything is clearly marked, there are friendly staff everywhere ready to help and just an overall great experience.They have a cafe on site which is nice to do as a break between exploring all the museum has to see.They have a wonderful shop where you can buy anything from bookmarks to jewelry.This is a must while you are in San Francisco.

Loved the visit. It was really nice as they have a limit on how many people are innate at a time, so it wasnt crowded.

I was debating on buying the VIP tickets but after reading reviews saying it wasnt really worth it, we decided to not do it. There is plenty of people who were really nice and took our pictures for us and we did the same. We ended up going here on Fathers Day which was a Sunday around 11:30 in the afternoon and there was no line to get in. They have student discounts! If youre a student the ticket is $20 and you save $5.

A place where you can see the art and creativity at the higher level in their paintings. Im impressed a lot. Love to visit again and again.

I enjoyed touring the San Francisco Museum of modern art! We enjoyed it so much we signed up for membership. Being a member allows us to visit the museum for free for a whole year. Which means we can visit anytime to learn more about every single art work (if we choose to) I think thats amazing!

This place is wonderful, rather upsetting it has been closed during the pandemic. The architecture is amazing in itself, the art is mind-blowing. Vast range of styles which brings about so many different emotions depending on which piece of art you are appreciating. I look forward to bringing my kids back here when possible.

My favorite craft store by far they have tons of items of scrap booking, all kinds of different fabrics and great sales all the time the store is huge and you can always find what you are looking for.

The SF MoMA has re-opened as of Oct 2020, with timed ticket reservations and reduced to 25% capacity. Its actually really nice to not be crowded and to be able to walk around leisurely at your own pace. We started on the top floor and worked our way down each of the exhibits, with a break for a snack at the 5th floor cafe.This museum does a good job of leading you through each era, with context about each artist displayed in each room and lots of little nuggets about the individual pieces.My favorites were the 360 degree modular tower interpreting future living spaces, the bright and powerful social justice mural, the feeling of music in motion in George Parks cello, and seeing the vast usage of lead as a medium by artists in postwar Germany.

Well it is the sfmoma. One of the best places in the country to spend the afternoon. Would love to see the photogrphy next time, my biggest influences reside here.

Extensive collection of world class modern and contemporary art perfectly housed and displayed.

What a perfect contemporary art museum! Start at the top level and work your way through amazing pieces and exhibitions. The flow is lovely and incorporates outdoor sculpture galleries as well as a couple of cafes and restaurants. Lovely store on the ground level so you can take a piece of SF home with you

Great place to spend a few hours of your day. The guides are very informative and definitely worth your time and ear should you wish to learn more about art. There is a nice multi-levelled sitting area near the cafe to enjoy a coffee at, and the gift shop has a ridiculously good amount of items.

Fantastic galleries with some of my favorite artists I love to hate. The bathroom was its own exhibit too!

One of San Franciscos must-see destinations, located within walking distance of Union Square. Explore seven floors of an internationally recognized collection of modern and contemporary art. Founded in 1935, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art was the first museum on the West Coast devoted solely to 20th-century art.General admission to the museum is $25. Members (who pay $100 a year) will be allowed free admission, as will visitors 18 and younger. Admission for seniors (65 years and older) is $22, and visitors ages 19-24 (with ID) will pay $19.

Great museum. I wasnt expecting such a large collection. I wasnt to interested in the special exhibit that they had but Im sure that others may be better. Their installations were great. Had a whole floor of German artists and quite a few Warhols. I would definitely recommend that you visit the San Francisco museum of modern art when you come to San Francisco.

I wouldnt say it is special, but there is plenty to look at. Nice place to checkout, has a cafe, and many floors to walk through. Not great not bad

I spent the whole day at the museum and I loved it! 7 floors of pure and beautiful art. Theres also an app that you can download to have more info about the museum and the art pieces

They actually have a free day! Keep your eyes open for the free days they have from time to time. You dont have to be a resident just a lover of art! They have a great selection of classical and modern art. 7 floors of exciting pieces to marvel over and enjoy. Also found here are outdoor areas, coffee shop, cafe, museum shop. A great place to slow down and enjoy wonderful art installations.

Awesome exhibition of Andy Warhol. Great space great staff and wonderful collection! The lunch was pretty good too.

Its a wonderful Museum! ️ Its has big spacious display rooms filled up with a variety of art exhibits in various forms, not just paintings but also sculptures and pothograpy from some of the most renowned artist from around the world! I highly recommend this place!

Super interesting museum with some beautiful modern art. My only complaint is the price. $30 a person seems rather ridiculous for an art museum. But we had a great time and really enjoyed the vast variety at the exhibits.

Whenever we are in San Francisco, we always plan to visit SFMONA! They have a wonderful selection of paintings and sculptures representing world renown contemporary artists. Historically, it was the first museum on the west coast devoted to modern art. On our last visit, the museum was promoting driverless cars and explaining the technology that helps them navigate around streets during all hours of the day and night.

Loved the friendly staff and easy to navigate building. Great rotating exhibits with contemporary artworks from a variety of styles.

Amazing place. Visited with wife and kids and they loved it. The food in the cafeteria was great. Expensive, but to be expected in San Francisco.

EXHIBITIONThe Chronicles of San Francisco by JRMay 23, 2019–May 31, 2020Floor 1, Roberts Family GalleryWhich is Open to Public (easy entrance from Howard St) without tickets to SFMOMA, Floor 1, Roberts Family Gallery is really nice way to unwind if you’re in near by the museum and wanted to sit down and relax indoor. The staircases are perfect spot to rest a bit.Also 18 & under are free to enter. Great way for teenagers who live near. Teens could spend their leisure time here or family could visit with kids for less cost.There are great selection of exhibits to be found in this relatively new 7-story galleries. Always felt having not enough time to see all the exhibits.The balcony at the top floor always impresses me and good place to take some fresh air and sit down to enjoy the hustle of the busy city surrounded.Always find new artists works as well as familiar modern arts.Despite the parking is hard and costly around the museum, we found that it’s a short walk from Mission & 5th Ave garage.However must not leave anything (even a t-shirt in a shopping bag) in your vehicles at parking garages & street parking. We’ve seen broken glasses at curve side and parking garages everywhere near by. Even keeping items in your trunk is not safe as we’ve been told that car burglars to open trunks easily with a tool or lowering back seats after breaking rare side windows.

There is always something good on exhibit.

Wonderful place to spend the day, enjoying all the great works of art! Great building, fabulous facilities. Restaurant, coffee, and store. Went to see the Andy Warhol exhibition! Loved the works displayed. 7 stories of art! Large backpacks can be coat checked, or worn up front. Pictures allowed.

Top 3 things to knowLoved, loved this museum so much!1) If youre into Pop Art, make sure you dont miss the Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein pieces - amazing.2) People under 18 years get free entry! Adults are $25 USD for non-members.3) Great gift shop where you can get so many cute and quirky pieces. I particularly liked the monolama brooches - especially the balloon animal poodle!More - Several floors of interesting modern artworks to explore. The Photography and the Art of Mistakes exhibit was fantastic. If you are a modern art lover, do yourself a favour and check this place out. You wont be disappointed.

I love that you can check in your items before strolling through the museum. I have no idea how much it normally is but I will definitely be back on another free day. As with free days, there is normally too many people but it is what it is...

Loved the Soft Power exhibition in Nov 2019 -- beautiful and thought-provoking pieces. Also cool pop art in permanent collection (Liechtenstein, Warhol, more).Accessibility bonus points: plenty of elevators, wide and flat hallways and galleries, plenty of accessible restrooms and seating in the tasty yet reasonable Sculpture Garden Cafe. Great job

Friendly staff, some great exhibits and great price.

I was really amazed by those great paintings. I was able to take some good pictures.

Amazing museum. Seven floor chock full of great exhibits. The museum itself is beautiful.

This is a wonderful museum to view amazing creators and their beautiful creations

I really loved this museum. The architecture was incredible and I found many of the pieces inside the museum to be inspiring. For example, I am interested in urban design and this was one of the few times that a museum included anything about that topic in their permanent exhibit. I certainly plan on going again in the future.

Five stars because of the amazing artwork, both in terms of the legacy of some of the classics and the originality of some of the new stuff.I was able to visit as part of the Thursday free nights and I enjoyed my chance to tour the place.Staff were pleasant but a little on the quiet/invisible side. Couldnt tell you why that bothered me a little but combined with the extreme openness of the architecture of the building, something about it walking through it felt empty. But thats just personal feelings - everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.Plus the spider sculptures were the best!

Of course you need a cheerful bunny toy (Happy Labbit), with a mustache. This is the place to find one - or a stack of the plush versions, neatly piled up according to height.

The Warhol exhibit was amazing! Really enjoyed it. The Jess exhibit was definitely my favorite though.

Just reopened after Covid, at about 10% capacity. All staff and guest (even kids) wear masks - feels very safe and can focus on enjoying the art and the surroundings

Spent three hours getting inspired here. Loved what they displayed at level 6 5 and 4. We went on a quick tour with Sandy. Shes very helpful and resourceful in explaining the artworks in the lobby area. Thank you Sandy

I loved the experience and could have wandered for hours. There were a couple “interactive” installations that were captivating. Just an altogether great place that everyone should see. Super spacious so it’s easy to move around and feel like there’s a lot of space and place to be.

Six floors off modern art. Be ready to spend at least 1.5 hours in this great museum.

Millions of dollars worth of culture and creativity for just a few bucks... I heart art! It makes me a better human.

Great place to be inspired. symbolic architecture. masterpieces.

I cannot express how much I love SFMOMA. Their membership/ members benefits are definitely worth it! Their cafes and services are great, and don’t get me started on the art! It’s hands down the best museum in SF and definitely worth a visit at least once (if not every week!)

Museums are always good. go to them. learn things. get culture. walk away a better person. repeat.

What an amazing museum! Bring your walking shoes: 7 floors to enjoy. The cafe on the 5th floor was a lovely respite.

Not the most well known collection but definite interesting and enjoyable. I loved the cafe and museum store also!

Awesome museum. Great space. Exhibits are spectacular! Gotta see Andy Warhol from A to B and Back Again. Permanent collection including the Doris and Don Fisher Gallery are magnificent!

Hadnt been since the big renovation, really quite nice though I miss the blue bottle that was there before, that said sight glass is good. Really great exhibit in Chinese art post cultural revolution. Also great Sol Lewitt pieces.

Fantastic museum for any modern art lover. Some of the pieces are very eccentric but are still enjoyable. The gallery has many classic modern artists like Andy Warhol. Give yourself lots of time to enjoy everything. The gallery is open late on Thursdays which is a bonus.

Going to the San Francisco museum of modern art was a great experience! all the expos were very organized and the staff was very friendly. We will definitely keep an ear out about more expos in the future.

It is boring for children, but a yes for adults it has amazing art and so many pieces always changing up exhibitions and has a really good coffee shop in it. Tickets are expensive so membership is great. Has a modern vibe. You can ask helpers for more information about the art. They are all very kind and sociable. The only service that happens is when you buy tickets then you are on your own. Best to go with friends or adult family, not kids they just bother you.

“Far Out” space exhibit is definitely worth a visit if you’re local and interested in historic space items as well as some new concepts/experimental work.The Chronicles of San Francisco by JR exhibit is also very impressive!

Totally drab, uninspired collections. Visitors can and do powerwalk through the exhibition spaces. The art is such pap that I was more impressed with the spaces under renovation. (Perhaps theyre exhibits in disguise?) I will chuck in an extra star for the lovely building -- its spacious, well structured and flooded with natural light, all of which make it entirely too good for its contents.

Amazing! Six floors displaying a thoughtfully installed collection of outstanding contemporary art—started with 1960s German art. Stunning open spaces with a variety of views outside—lovely outdoor areas as well. Not crowded on a Friday in summer. We skipped the Warhol special exhibition and still saw some of his (overrated) work in other galleries. Loved the fabulous experimental photo exhibition, painting and sculpture.Can easily spend half a day or more here. Excellent and very large museum store.

The best place to get a dose of art, inspiration, and perhaps good conversation. Worth becoming a member. They rotate and change art often enough to keep the museum feeling fresh.

My advice, start from top floor. The terrace on 7th floor is breathtaking. Giving a full view of the major buildings of San Francisco.

Great museum. It is very nice learning area.

This was always one of my must-visits in terms of Art Museums. Was not disappointed at all! I quite liked the layout of all the art exhibits (easy to navigate throughout the museum), and the staff were also very friendly and helpful. There was a vast variety of artworks, some that I loved and admired, and even some that make you think to yourself can this be considered art but thats what art is supposed to be!Be prepared to allocate at least a couple to several hours to explore the entirety of SFMOMA as it has 7 floors (although the topmost floor is currently being closed as theyre installing 2 exhibits that open in late Oct 2019). The museum also has some great views on upper floors that overlook the hustle of the city.

As a somewhat frequent museum goer, this place definitely stands out. They have phenomenal exhibitions and the building itself is wonderful to walk through.

Loved MOMA they had amazing tours. I really enjoyed the tours because they were very interactive. I felt like at least with the tours I was able to understand more about the artist and the painting. Its a big museum with so much to see. And once you get a pass its good till 9pm, and of course its in one of the best cities ever S.F stop by this museum you wont want to miss it!

Great museum, a lot of interesting stuff, but the entrance tickets cost too much

The SF MOMA is amazing! If only I could spend a whole day visiting it, because one visit is certainly not enough for one individual to take in a digest. I spent nearly four hours and couldnt see all. You cant rush going through the six stories filled with art pieces.From the outside, the building itself doesnt look big, but step inside and youll start to see how it expands to quite a large size. The place is widely spacious, greatly laid out and very well organised, grabbing your attention step after step. There are also a few gorgeous outdoors areas as well as a few wonderful views of the city.

Thoroughly enjoyed the current Magritte exhibition. Highly recommend to check out this one.There are also quite a few good artist’s work in the exhibit to fit different taste pallets.It’s great that you can also enjoy a good cup of sight glass joe while enjoying some good art.

Great museum, you can spend hours there. 7th floor has a very important exhibition on violence towards women, not for the faint on heart. Loved the living wall and the spiders!

World class modern art museum. We saw interesting films, paintings, and sculptures. I especially enjoyed the Roy Lichtenstein works. And Frank Stella.

Modern art! But don’t quite get it! Not my style!

After a recent expansion, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) is now laid out over seven large floors of exhibit space, the second largest of its kind in the country.Expect to find works by some of the top artists in the world of modern art today.Arrive early, take breaks in the Cafe or outdoors by the living wall and sculpture park. Wear comfortable shoes to make it through the day!Tours also available. Inquire in the ticketing area.

This place is great! It definitely takes more than one visit to get through everything on all seven floors. So much to see. A lot of thought provoking pieces. Its fun to go with friends and you can get everyones interpretation of certain works or you can experience some of the more interactive pieces together. One of my favorite places when Im in the city.

The new layout of the building is beautiful, especially the gardens and the cafe are well designed.Theres a space exhibition, and that was interesting.Unfortunately the most of the exhibitions are disappointment. Modern design isnt a lack of design, but the art works are sadly far from the inspirational. They used be dynamic, passionate, and can be called ART.So if youre looking for truly inspirational, beautiful art, youd better go out to streets of downtown, art galleries in the City, or Golden Gate Park. Theres so much better natural arts and true artists art works you can find. And most of all, its free!

Fantastic museum definitely worth exploring. The art collection is vast, and the building itself is very impressive with some nice outdoor areas and views

A bit pricey ($25) for a student, but the exhibits were finely curated. I saw many pieces I had not seen done by my favorite artists.

I really enjoyed their Andy Warhol exhibit! I felt the other exhibits were somewhat lacking.

It is especially recommended for lovers of modern arts. A great program for the whole family. Fine salads can be enjoyed on the top floor of the museum.

What a fantastic place, a wide variety of mediums and styles. Only regret was the upper level was closed at the time I went, so I didnt get to see some of the installations.Great place for the tourist looking to see some art, and the location is quite central to other destinations.

This museum is incredible! It really is filled with amazing art. Its very clean, the layout is very well designed and I love how it has windows that have incredible views of the city. They also have a restaurant inside and outside displays for when the weather is nice! This is a must see if you have the time.

This was the worst museum I have ever been to. I believe art is a medium that is highly subjective, however, this museums portrayal of art was so bland. Big canvas pieces are nice when they provoke thought. The time I visited the majority of these canvas pieces were one color. Anyone can grab a roller and paint a wall that doesnt make it meaningful or thought-provoking.I will say there are a few stunning works of art there. I found that experience to be too few and too far between.It has been so offensive to me that I have come back months later to leave this review. Save your time and your money when you have a choice between this and a bad movie pick the bad movie. At least then you will have experienced something that took someone time to create.

Got to visit here during their free day and it was absolutely a terrific experience. I only give it four stars because I would have preferred that each floor felt very distinct from the last, and the way they lay out the programming makes it so that you can see somewhat similar aesthetics on multiple floors. A truly fantastic place though and I need to come back to check out their various exhibits throughout the year.

Beautiful inside & out, wall of ferns, alcove seats w/city views, & jaw dropping collections. Quick stop in cafe for water but food looked good. Especially enjoyed the gelatin silver prints & Warhol!!

Wonderful museum. Great art collection. One of the best modern art museum I have ever visited. Could spend here all day. You can also find here one of the best coffee shops in the city. Highly recommend for those who like a pop / modern art.

Outstanding exhibitions. Expansive layout. I was there for 3 hours at least, at breakneck speed. Friendly and welcoming coat check. Friendly and welcoming ticketing. Really set the tone. Beautifully presented by a building that makes (or allows) you to explore something like 7 levels of art - inside and out. I was really impressed and found new artists to follow. Very impressive shop also. I will be back!!

Thursday evenings are free! Went while visiting SFO (on a Thursday evening) and they had a Monet exhibit featured. Thoroughly enjoyed all the exhibits they had to offer. Definitely check it out. Can’t beat free admission!!

Simply huge and amazingTakes around 3 hours to get around it all... really thoughtfully arranges and exhibited.... the actual building is a art work itself and there are many tall windows out to the city. :-) loves it

This is such a cool concept and fun date night idea! Admission is very affordable (around $12) but Im guessing thats because they want you to spend all your money on the expensive food and drinks inside. By the way, the drinks are not very strong for what you pay. Oh, make sure you arrive early because the lines are long! They move fast, though.

AMAZING!!!! This museum has one of the best permanent and temporary exhibits are interesting and mesmerizing. Information about the artist and each piece of art was clear . I ll recommend it to everyone both local and international visitors. A Great place to bring the whole family or a date a friend .. There is also a cafe inside to get a quick snack . also the shop has great buys. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT.

I absolutely love this store. The ambience of this place is very welcoming. The displays they have are very intriguing. I love how the employees are so thoughtful. They compensate for the things they cant provide.

I was in the panoramic curved screen side of the building. It was really nice but the room is not so comfy to sit, because the chairs are completely made with wooden. And the audio could be better if it was a little bit larger.Over all everthing was ok, there are a lot of plugs and easy to use the elevator, easy access to bathrooms.

If you enjoy this kind of thing, go for it.

Truly disappointing. Has gone badly downhill in recent year. Staff are rude. If you are from out of town do not waste your time here there are better museums.
