What People Are Saying About San Francisco Museum of Modern Art

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.

Great Museum!
by ksjjj
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.
- Pros: 5:15 free admission, Chinese Contemporary Art Permanent Collection
- Cons: nothing

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.
