One of the largest museums of modern and contemporary art in the country, SFMOMA offers stunning collections and exhibitions of works covering painting, photography, sculpture, design and media arts, all housed in a building that is itself a work of art. Displayed works range from the new large-scale wall projects by local muralists to the permanent collection, which includes paintings and sculptures by Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Ruth Asawa, Henri Matisse, Georgia O’Keeffe, Diego Rivera and Andy Warhol. Other highlights include the 19,000 plants that make up the outdoor Living Wall. <
