The Contemporary Side of MOMA
San Francisco, CA –
The MOMA has a fairly large selection of contemporary art intermixed with modern and fine art primarily displayed on the 4th and 5th floors. Some of the pieces are really off the wall while others show signs of geniusness. There all many kinds of media that is used, including video production. I spent the least amount of timeĀ gazing at such pieces, trying to comprehend what was going through the minds of these artists (see photo below of the plastic man’s torso and the double-sided chair stool). However, there are a few wonderful and well thought out works of art, like this multi-media piece that uses a wooden coat wall rack as the canvas, which happens to be a favorite of a friend of mine.
Another piece of advice not mentioned in the Accessible Guide: San Francisco MOMA is that there is a parking garage nearby that charges an hourly or day rate. However, there are meter spots all over the city, so I suggest you find one and walk to MOMA. The streets in San Francisco are one-way most of the time so be aware of that and rarely can you make a left turn. If not driving, a great alternative is the BART system. By getting off at either Powell or Montgomery Street will put you at short distance to the museum.

Great Pictures. I have been to a lot of places in San Francisco but never to Moma. I recognize a many of the artists displayed there and the architecture is impressive.
I can’t wait to go and check it out, and by the way I love your logo of the world and traveling wheelchair.
This is a great site as anyone can use it, but so very helpful for those in a chair.
I’ll be back to visit.
