The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art was my favorite museum in San Francisco, probably because of my strong interest in contemporary art. Founded in 1935, this was the first West Coast museum dedicated to Modern and Contemporary Art. The four floors of skylit galleries display many of my favorite artists such as Duchamp. Magritte, Cornell, Rauchenberg, Rothko, Dali, Calder, Bourgeois, Nevelson, Hesse, Fritsch, Koons, Hodges and more. They also have impressive photography, architecture, design, and media arts collections. Their comprehensive collection amounts to more than 26,000 works and continues to grow. I especially enjoyed the Rooftop Garden and coffee bar where I could enjoy sculptures by Calder, Bourgeois, and others while sipping my latte and soaking in the culture. The museum is free the first Tuesday of each month and closed on Wednesdays, for more info visit their website at http://www.sfmoma.org/
