It is quite a disservice to any museum, but especially one as rich (defining rich here not just by the collections, but the thinking that went into the design) as the San Francisco MOMA to pick just a few things as highlights.  Isn’t beauty in the eyes of the beholder? What holds appeal to me may not be “the” thing that attracts another person. However, given that this was love at first sight, I can’t help but gush about a few things that struck me. So here in no particular order, is a photo essay (with captions) capturing how the SF MOMA wooed me over.

The magnificent Richard Serra sculpture “Sequence” set up beautifully.

Ever get lost in museums trying to find a collection? Prime real estate on elevator doors gets converted into guide maps!

You may not be able to catch the “Scream” but there are plenty of other ways to get to know Edward Munch.

The fluid way in which the wavy wall meets the lit up ceiling.

The dramatic entrance that invites you to fall in love at first sight.

Céleste Boursier-Mougenot’s floating porcelain bowls are a sight to behold and music to the ears!

Coffee anyone?  Only a museum can arrange the accompaniments like the perfect still life composition.

I don’t remember being this excited to go to the bathroom!  Each floor is done up in a different bold color.

The multitude of windows with views.

It was the day of the total solar eclipse and I was so fortunate to have the opportunity to ponder the universe!
