San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
Art transforms lives. It provokes us to think, to express, to explore our own creativity, to envision new possibilities. SFMOMA expanded the museum to provide a better experience for our visitors and a better home for our expanding collections, including the SFMOMA collection and the Fisher Collection, one of the finest collections of contemporary art in the world. The new SFMOMA, designed in collaboration with the architecture firm Snøhetta, opened May 2016. With this project, we are transforming not just the museum's physical presence, but also our contributions to the community, enhancing SFMOMA's role as a place for learning, inspiration, and interaction for visitors from the Bay Area and beyond. We are making SFMOMA a magnet for contemporary art and for the audiences who will engage with it. View our current job listings → https://www.sfmoma.org/join-the-teamwww.sfmoma.org

So I have been on hair duty watching, seeing what's happening and it's been a problem you guys I oh my gosh I can't in Colombia June he was wearing this like really tight black tank top and he looked incredible he was owning it I think after his San Francisco MoMA like because he went there to open it he was like he was so confident he looked great and and they brought it they really did and with this concert in Colombia it was like a big deal because the stage like the wings of the stage weren't there I will say though that the stadiums are smaller And probably not as new as the other stadiums in America.
