I liked the museum because it didn't take that long to go through and it definitely has some beautiful artwork. I didn't like constantly being told that I had to carry my small backpack purse in my hand below my waist. I was wearing it over my shoulder, under my arm. How is that different from any other person wearing a purse? Irritating. Other than that, great location and a nice, smallish smattering of beautiful art.

Wait until the temporary Lucas exhibit is over...trust me...It's one of those shock and disgust shows. Love the permanent collections! Really beautiful western art from the last millennia. In every room there's something to stop, absorb and ponder. Top rate European artists from David to Monet. Nice sampling of ancient artifacts also. Gorgeous architecture and location near the coast. Pack your camera and enjoy the views.

If you like art this is an amazing place to visit if you come to San Francisco. There's a lot of beautiful art. a lot of amazing masterpieces you will not see anywhere else. It is not a place for little kids but my kids are older and they really enjoyed it.

Enjoyed my visit here but sadly several galleries were closed as they were installing a new art exhibit. The gallery is just the right size to see all the exhibits. The cafe was wonderful.
