About San Francisco Museum of Modern Art

San Francisco Museum of Modern Art displays modern and contemporary artworks across multiple galleries. Visitors walk through exhibition spaces to view paintings, installations, and video art. Current exhibitions include Matisse's Femme au chapeau, which explores the artist's color revolution, and Ragnar Kjartansson's The Visitors, a nine-screen video installation showing an hour-long performance. The museum features interactive artworks that visitors may touch, which are indicated by signage, though most artwork must not be touched. Children aged thirteen and younger must be accompanied by an adult throughout the visit. Only pencils are permitted for writing or drawing in the galleries. Food and drink are prohibited in gallery spaces, and backpacks and child carriers may not be worn on the back. The building includes multiple floors for viewing different collections and rotating exhibitions.
