Five Things to Do at SFMOMA

snap+share: transmitting photographs from mail art to social networks
March 30–August 4, 2019
Floor 3

The exhibition snap+share gives visitors a new way to visualize — and experience — how photographs have become so ubiquitous in our daily lives. Whether through early examples of 1960s and ’70s mail art, physical piles of pictures uploaded to the Internet over a 24-hour period, or a working freezer that allows participatory meme-making, visitors can trace the evolution of sharing photographs.

In Situ, Floor 1
Sightglass, Floor 3
Cafe 5, Floor 5

From family-friendly, California-fusion fare at Cafe 5 to Michelin-star dining at In Situ, there’s a wide range of options for anyone looking to fuel up during their visit. In the mood for something lighter? Stop by Sightglass for Instagram-worthy coffee creations and treats — now with a second location in our free public space (museum admission is not required).

The Sea Ranch: Architecture, Environment, and Idealism
December 22, 2018–June 2, 2019
Floor 6

Distinctive architecture, uninhibited ocean views, bold supergraphics, shared open space, and meditative tranquility — these were the beginnings of The Sea Ranch, a beacon of 1960s Modernism on the Northern California coast. Through original sketches, photographs, and models, see how Sea Ranch’s idealistic principles of good design, economy of space, and harmony with nature continue to influence architecture and design.

Floors 1 + 2

Take a piece of the museum home with you! Curated as carefully as our exhibitions, the Museum Store has an amazing collection of books, home goods, jewelry, toys, and more — it’s the perfect one-stop shop. The best part is every purchase supports SFMOMA’s exhibitions and education programs.

Floor 3

Feeling the museum fatigue? Step outside for a little fresh air and take in over 19,000 plants growing on our thirty-foot-tall Living Wall. Designed by Habitat Horticulture, the vast greenery offers a welcoming sunlit respite to the interior galleries. As the largest living wall in the United States, it’s a beautiful backdrop to the sculptures nearby ― plus it’s also great for your own photo-op.

Hours
Open Friday–Tuesday, 10 a.m.–5 p.m., and Thursday, 10 a.m.–9 p.m. Closed Wednesday.
