SFMOMA
The Verdict
"Start with the sculpture filled atrium, then work your way up through seven floors of galleries."
What you need to know
SFMOMA is the city’s modern and contemporary art museum, seven floors in SoMa.
What to Expect
The permanent collection spans photography, painting, sculpture, architecture, and media arts, with photography as one of the museum’s major collecting areas. The top floor has a living wall of plants and a sculpture terrace with city views. Special exhibitions rotate and often require separate timed tickets, so check what’s showing. The ground floor cafe and store are open without a ticket, and entry is free for visitors 18 and under. Weekday mornings are quieter.
Getting There
BART and Muni Metro to Montgomery Street station, then a 5-minute walk south on Third. The 30 and 45 bus lines stop nearby. Street parking in SoMa is expensive; the museum validates at a nearby garage that fills on weekends.
