A
collection of huge red slabs adorned with portals
that catch the eye in the way that mere doors never
could. Befitting a city that has always embraced the
future, this is one of the largest modern art museums
in the United States. That forward-thinking is demonstrated
in the way the building is constructed to allow for
the easy addition of additional space. Like all of
the newer art museums, every effort is made to both
maximize space while allowing the art to be seen in
natural light. But it is more than just galleries.
There is a theater, a library, a cafe, and a bookstore.
Visually, the San Francisco MoMA is a beacon of art
drawing people to it while maintaining the dignity
afforded one of the world's great galleries. Although
the museum is a great repository of beautiful things,
they will have to remain only in your memories.
