    Founded in 1935, SFMOMA was the first museum on the West Coast devoted to modern and contemporary art. From the outset, the museum has championed the most innovative and challenging art of its time, and continues to exhibit and collect work by both modern masters and younger, less-established artists. By embracing the challenge of the new and unexpected, the museum hopes to encourage fresh ways of seeing, thinking, and engaging with the world. The museum strives to continuously expand the range of cultural experiences offered, and to provide as many ways as possible to make the art meaningful and accessible to the community. To that end, the museum’s role as a place for learning and inspiration is set to be enhanced through an expanded building, scheduled to open in early 2016, that will showcase an expanded collection and dramatically increase our capacity to serve visitors of all ages.
