One of the best galleries in the US. It's reservation only, so you never feel like you're in a mob. And the curators are top-notch, so you're guaranteed to see something interesting no matter when you come. They produce good catalogs for each show so there's always a chance to learn something new about the artists and their work. Finally, the location is great - right on the waterfront. You can easily find a great place for lunch or dinner nearby.

This is a San Francisco gem. A stunning, massive photo museum that takes up all of Pier 24. It is the love child of an individual who grew a large well curated collection, rented the building to keep his collection in and decided it could be used to share his love of photography. They mount a new exhibit each year. Entrance is free. 20 people max have the place to themselves for a two how visit, so it feels like you are there alone. Reservations made online are a must. You gotta go!

This place is so under the radar. Most San Franciscans don't even know about it, although Pier 24 does photography shows that are the equal of SFMOMA and MOMA NYC. Here I've seen shows including Dian Arbus, Nan Goldin, Richard Avedon; and they also champion new works by up and coming photographers that are nearly always fantastic and high-caliber work. By appointment only! (Reserve a time online.)

Very nice collection from various photographers. I don't regret booking for an audience at this place.

Pier 24 has a great collection and the exhibition is well displayed- nevertheless as a photographer myself I was seriously disappointed over treatment at the reception as well at the telephone when I was inquiring to speak to the director for a moment. I felt it was unprofessional and extremely rude.
