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.

SFMOMA is always changing; the permanent collection and the traveling exhibitions are rotated to make every visit to the museum unique and fun, even if the visitor has been there many times. Great deal!
Pros: cool building, exhibits are fun, good cafe
Cons: lots of stairs

Beautiful architecture, fantastic displays; make sure to go on free Tuesdays, first one every month, but go early to get in right away. You still won't have enough time.

Why are tickets to this museum so expensive? $10 for a museum this small? I'm annoyed that my home town (SF) doesn't have a good museum to compare with other cosmopolitan cities such as NYC. I know some people out there are going to say "well that's a modern art museum compared to a traditional exhibit museum". Well, I don't care. Sorry. I'm no art conniseur. I just call 'em as I see 'em. You have to go to several SF museums to see all the art. SF-Moma, POLO, GGPark... Compared to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC, the SF MOMA is lacking. Oh well. At least we get better weather.
Pros: nice changing exhibit
Cons: miniature size museum

Amidst all the hue and cry about the demise of San Francisco's arts scene, this museum rose like phoenix, gracing the self-touted world-class city with its first world class museum. The early days of the museum were somewhat mixed as the currators tended to hang on to the audience be damned early '90s credo of the art world. Through time, however, the museum has become much more embrasive, while still featuring cutting edge work along with stalwarts of the modern genre.
Pros: Collection, Exhibits, Architecture
