SAN FRANCISCO MUSEUM OF MODERN ART

The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art reopened in 2016 with a ten story addition designed by the Norwegian architects Snohetta. The original building facing Third Street was designed in 1995 by the Swiss architect Mario Botta. The facade is covered with rippling white fiberglass reinforced plastic panels. 

Snohetta reimagined the museum as a more welcoming and public place with a gallery facing Howard Street. A series of stairs cascades down the side of the building with large windows with views out to the city beyond.

There is no shortage of good food nearby, but the museum’s Cafe 5 next to the sculpture garden has great food. When we visited an exhibit of Rene Magritte inspired the chef to create an interesting apple dessert.
