Museums in San Francisco - SoMa: San Francico Museum of Modern Art

Enjoy heritage and innovation at San Francisco's museums

In recent years, San Francisco museums experienced a boom, with the H.M. de Young art museum re-opening in Golden Gate Park, the Contemporary Jewish Museum launching in SoMa, the new Museum of the African Diaspora, and a re-vamped, eco-friendly California Academy of Sciences. Most of the city’s heavy hitters, including the Museum of Modern Art, are downtown, but a trip to Golden Gate Park wouldn’t be complete without sampling the museums there.
