SFMOMA Facade on a Bright San Francisco Day
The red-brick facade of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art stands bold and geometric beneath a perfectly blue sky. Designed by Mario Botta and later expanded by Snøhetta, SFMOMA’s distinctive architecture cuts a strong silhouette against the skyline, flanked by soaring downtown towers. The circular oculus peeks just above the roofline, hinting at the museum’s light-filled atrium within. Seen from street level, the building feels both monumental and accessible—an icon of contemporary culture nestled in the heart of SoMa. On days like this, the museum seems to glow with the same creative energy it houses inside.
