Opened in 1935 as the first museum on the West Coast devoted to 20th-century art, the SFMOMA is still a favorite stop amongst locals and visitors alike. The museum has been at its current location, which was designed by Swiss architect Mario Botta, since 1995.
Daily tours are available (except on Wednesdays, when the entire museum is closed), and they are free with museum admission. Those on a tight budget will be especially pleased that admission is free on the first Tuesday of every month. And on Thursdays, the museum is open until 8:45pm instead of 5:45pm — with admission half-price after 6pm.
Please check the museum’s web site for current and future exhibitions.
