This is the place to see modern art in San Francisco. SF
MOMA's collection includes major works by the 20th-century artists from
post-impressionists to latest contemporary art. The beautiful building
designed by the Swiss architect Mario Botta has a central skylight which
gives the atrium a theatrical feel. The museum was created in 1935 but
moved to its current location in the South of Market neighborhood in 1995.
Works by the 20th-century European artists are located on the second floor
including paintings by Matisse, Braque, Picasso and a beautiful sculpture
by Brancusi. There are three paintings that I really enjoyed and I believe
should not be missed: "The flower carrier" by Diego Rivera, "Frieda and
Diego Rivera" by Frida Kahlo and "Guardians of the secret" by Jackson
Pollock. The two upper floors are dedicated to temporary exhibitions.
Address: 151 Third Street (between Mission and Howard Streets).
