And I'm not really into museums and I like this place!. Even though I have the attention span of a 2 year old, I see why this place is so great. The building itself is a piece of art, the art housed itself is the stuff I was tested on in my art history class at the community college in San Diego, so many years ago, and some of the art work, I even like and want to look at for more than 2 minutes!

That said, you have to come and check it out at least once so that you can say you've done it. Even if you are like me and have no idea what you are supposed to be appreciating you have to try it before you say you don't like it or know it and the what not. Right?

Plus the gift shop is pretty freakin' cool. And it's only $11 to get in which is surely worth walking through 4 stories of artwork, after all you are bound to find at least a few things that catch your fancy, I know I did.

Great Museum!. I went to see the Frida Kahlo exhibit and was surprised to find such an amazing permanent collection of contemporary Chinese art! The Kahlo exhibit was moving and powerful. I went later in the day and was surprised to find that the last half hour, at 5:15, they let you in for free! I will be a frequent visitor to this museum.

With innovative exhibitions by both up-and-coming and high-profile artists, this outstanding West Coast modern-art venue keeps getting better.. The museum's digs--Mario Botta's fab, post-modern jewel with the brick facade and striped oculus skylight--is a work of art in itself. In addition to showcasing its far-ranging permanent collection and hosting traveling blockbusters, it's also a hot spot for the latest digital and high-tech installations. While any fine arts establishment would kill for Matisse's "Femme au Chapeau," SFMOMA has it. The museum's crown jewel now keeps company alongside heavyweight works by Duchamp, Magritte, Rothko and Rauschenberg.

Oh, it's okay. The Rothko is impressive but the permanent collection suffers from lack of depth- ONE minor Pollock, ONE Brancusi, two (?) Matisse, etc. etc. Dare I say too much photography? What's the deal with all the fuzzy Daguerotypes? Far too many TV-monitor-in-a-dark-room with dissonant audio

type exhibitions. The visiting exhibits can be very good.
