Anniversary EXHIBiTIONS + EVENTS

75 Years of Looking Forward

In 2010, SFMOMA marks its 75th year as a pioneering force in art, locally and globally. To celebrate our anniversary, we present a series of exhibitions and events that illustrates the stories of the artists, collectors, cultural visionaries, and community leaders who founded, built, and have animated the museum. A suite of exhibitions highlights the unique strengths of SFMOMA's collection and moments when the museum broke new ground, expanding the conventional wisdom of what an art museum should present and collect. Related programs and events continue throughout the year.
