Wonderful museum. But the experience was a little bit frustrating : after I buy my ticket, the guy at the ticket desk tell me the museum will close in 2 hours ! I would have need more than 2 hours to enjoy this visit. But the expos was very interesting 👍

A must see museum in the city! Has 7 levels of art that is full of a diverse use of art mediums! Huge sculptures, surrealists and abstracts. One exhibit had lights like a disco and a drum set for anyone to play! We were fortunate to see the special exhibit by Diego Rivera. This is a unique museum. You will not be disappointed if you love all forms of art!

The canvas paintings throughout the museum are either beautiful, creative, or thought provoking. Great place for photos. A must visit in San Francisco. 7 floors of exhibits, with a cafe and patio. Took over an hour and half to walk every floor and patio. I recommend.

I really like the museum. I mean who would not, I really appreciate the wall garden and space for reflection as well as the outdoor sculpture garden 🪴, the book store is awesome and I do not have to mention the shows. The only thing I really did not like was one of the guards shouting on the visitors who were discussing the artworks. Museums suppose to be places for dialog and ideas, for fruitful discussions and sharing. The people weren’t loud, they were just talking and it was so interesting and then this lady came in really not welcoming way to shout for people to be quiet, it’s not church and it was not polite. I didn’t like it.
