Snøhetta-Designed SFMOMA Expansion is an Astounding, Playful Success

The modern update is an unabashed success for both San Francisco and the art world.
And you can't miss it. The 10-story contoured facade, inspired by San Francisco's characteristic fog and choppy Bay waters

As far as bragging rights go, SFMOMA can now boast being one of the largest modern art museums in the world.
