San Francisco Museum of Modern Art

This was my first time ever at this particular art museum, and goodness, didn't make a great first impression!! My husband wanted to come check out the KAWS Exhibit, and I thought he knew more about him, but apparently he knew his artwork from Asia and didn't know he was from New York. Lol it was very inspirational and we had no idea we could explore the other floors of the our gallery once we got the tickets! Even though we've had a 2:30 PM showing for the KAWS exhibit, we ended up staying until 430 to check out the other floors! Perfectly to spend a Sunday afternoon!! There docents or art gallery carriers at each section in case you had questions, although I think they were there to make sure no one took anything. They also had their own separate specialty gift shop for the seasonal exhibit as well as a giant gift shop for the whole museum itself! We walked through both sections and the downstairs gift shop was amazing! It reminds me of that old store, learning express. Along with a lot of San Francisco Schottky apparel it was very interesting to see all the different artists and projects you could buy as well as different paraphernalia. The gift shop seemed normal prices for San Francisco. And there was somebody there to answer questions, if need be.

We absolutely loved Jacob Hashimoto: Giant Arc at SFMOMA. The installation is truly mesmerizing, with thousands of handmade kites creating an incredible immersive experience. The scale and detail are amazing, and walking underneath the artwork gives you a completely different perspective. A beautiful and unique exhibition that is definitely worth seeing while in San Francisco! @visit_sf

RM X SFMoMA on October 3, 2026!! 😳 ARMYs!! LESGOOOOOOOOO! 💜 I visited SF MoMA during a very short work trip to SF. Absolutely lovely museum and I could get a student ticket at 23 USD instead of the regular 30 USD (thank you very much!) The restaurant on the bottom floor is great too. I ordered a vegan quiche and it arrived pretty quickly and was yummy! The museum shop itself is a museum but I felt the prices are way too outrageous. 😭

first thing you gotta do is drop your bag off. i noticed comfortable looking chairs at the ground level. there's also two gift shops one main one and then one in the KAWS exhibit. we took the stairs up to the ticketing area. the price is very reasonable. this exhibit is very beautiful. i caught this exhibit just in time. it's so cool reading the little inspiration and history behind the art being made. KAWS has always been cool art and cool collectibles. very beautiful exhibit and you can really take the time to look at it all. bought a pink KAWS shirt here, i don't really care about the size. i did end up staining the shirt when i came back home to wash it. must've been transfer dye from my blue jeans or other clothes. managed to end up getting it out. anyway. this exhibit was very beautiful and hope people can enjoy it before it's over. appreciate the kind lady who said i don't look like an adult. would so go to SFMOMA again.

Incredible modern and contemporary art collection in a sleek beautiful building. Went with a baby and stroller and it was easy to navigate. The Matisse show was great but gets very crowded. FYI If you bring a backpack you’ll have to wear it on your front

An outstanding destination for modern and contemporary art lovers. The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) is truly world-class. The architecture alone is impressive, but what’s inside is even better—an incredible collection of modern and contemporary works that are both inspiring and thought-provoking. The galleries are spacious, beautifully curated, and easy to navigate, allowing you to fully enjoy each exhibit at your own pace. From iconic masterpieces to innovative installations, there’s something that captures your attention in every room. The museum also offers a calm and sophisticated atmosphere, perfect for spending a few hours immersed in art. Highly recommended for anyone visiting San Francisco—an enriching and unforgettable cultural experience.

My husband and I really enjoyed our visit to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art! We happened to visit on our wedding anniversary, and it turned out to be Community Day, so admission was completely free—a very nice surprise and a memorable way to celebrate our anniversary! The museum itself is gorgeous, and we loved exploring the different floors and discovering how varied the exhibits were. There was a great mix of art and experiences, ranging from more classical works and photography to contemporary pieces and large-scale sculptures. The variety made the visit feel engaging and kept us excited to see what was around the next corner. One of the highlights for us was getting to experience Yayoi Kusama’s exhibit. With her recent passing, we feel especially fortunate that we had the opportunity to see her work in person beforehand. Her installation was such a memorable experience and definitely something that stood out during our visit. There was also an immersive sound exhibit that was a lot of fun and gave us a completely different way to experience art. I really appreciated that the museum wasn’t limited to simply looking at artwork on the walls—it incorporated installations and interactive experiences that made the visit more dynamic. SFMOMA also has a small café with a spacious outdoor patio, which is a great place to take a break and relax. There seemed to be plenty of seating to accommodate even busier days. Overall, we had a wonderful time at SFMOMA. Between the beautiful building, diverse exhibits, memorable installations, and the chance to experience Kusama’s work, it made for a fantastic anniversary outing. Definitely worth visiting if you enjoy modern and contemporary art!
