When visitors arrive at a museum exhibition, they see the manifestation of months, years, and sometimes decades of curatorial effort. The many steps it has taken to arrive at that point can be just as intriguing as the exhibition itself. In this compelling panel, moderated by SFMOMA’s Deputy Director of Curatorial Affairs Ruth Berson, a group of San Francisco’s most accomplished curators reveal how some of San Francisco’s greatest exhibitions were conceived — and the lengths taken to put them together.
