The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SF MOMA) opened its doors to the public on May 14, after a three-year-long renovation. The new building designed by the architecture firm Snøhetta now provides 10 stories of art for everyone to enjoy, including film, photography, and contemporary, abstract, and modern works. The MOMA is the biggest art museum in the Bay Area; it carries art pieces from artists that visitors from around the world will enjoy, from Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, to Pablo Picasso and Diego Rivera.
Below is a slideshow of a small taste of the SF MOMA if you are thinking of visiting.
