Dynamic works by 32 women making abstract art today in Shifting the Silence
Floor 7
Named after artist Etel Adnan’s 2020 book about history and existence, Shifting the Silence embraces experimentation, impermanence, and subjectivity — bold yet poetic characteristics that mark the art of our time.
See a slate of mural commissions by artists from the Bay Area, including Emory Douglas, Liz Hernández, Twin Walls Mural Company, and a forthcoming mural by Michael Jang.

Step outside for a little fresh air and take in over 19,000 plants on our thirty-foot-tall Living Wall. As the largest living wall in the United States, it’s a beautiful backdrop for the sculptures nearby or a moment of reflection.
Dine with us at Cafe 5 while enjoying the Floor 5 sculpture garden. Cafe 5 features high-quality seasonal ingredients, along with coffee from iconic Italian roaster illy and wines by Meiomi and Kim Crawford.
Take a piece of the museum home with you! Curated as carefully as our exhibitions and featuring objects and art created by global and Bay Area artists, the Museum Store is the perfect one-stop shop. The best part: every purchase supports SFMOMA’s exhibitions and education programs.
