Beginning Memorial Day (Monday, May 28, 2007), the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) will open its galleries at 10 a.m.—one hour earlier than usual—to accommodate the summertime schedules of out-of-town visitors and local residents.

SFMOMA's expanded summer hours will give visitors additional opportunities to view such highly anticipated exhibitions as Matisse: Painter as Sculptor, which will be on view June 9 through September 16. Known primarily for his beautiful paintings, drawings, and works on paper, Henri Matisse was also an accomplished sculptor whose radical style left lasting marks on modern art history. The first major U.S. examination of Matisse's sculpture in nearly 40 years, this exhibition assembles more than 150 works in a variety of media.

The Museum's summer hours will remain in effect through Labor Day (Monday, September 3). Regular hours will resume on Tuesday, September 4, when the Museum galleries will open at 11 a.m. The MuseumStore and Caffè Museo will continue to open at 10 a.m.
