The Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco, better known by the Latin abbreviation SFMOMA, can rightfully be called the main and most visited museum in the city. In addition to the vast collection of works of art of the 19th and 21st centuries, numbering more than 29,000 works, the museum is notable for its ultra-modern building – it was designed by the famous Swiss architect Mario Botta. The futuristic structure of glass and concrete is surrounded by a vast park, which displays notable sculptures by contemporary American sculptors.
The collection of the Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco consists of four sections: painting and sculpture, photography, architecture and design, and media art. Among the presented masters are Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, Paul Klee, Rene Magritte, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol. And in the media art section, you can get acquainted with installations and the history of interesting Internet projects.
Until 2017, the main building of the museum is under reconstruction and expansion; the exhibit is partially exhibited at three branches in San Francisco.
