The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art is a modern art museum in San Francisco, California.It opened in 1935 under founding director Dr. Grace Morley as the San Francisco Museum of Art, the first museum on the West Coast devoted solely to 20th-century art. For its first sixty years, the museum occupied upper floors of the War Memorial Veterans Building in the Civic Center. George D. Culler was the director from 1958 to 1965. Under director Henry T. Hopkins (1974–1986) the museum added "Modern" to its title in 1975, and established an international reputation.In 1995 the museum moved to its current location, 151 Third Street, adjacent to Yerba Buena Gardens in the SOMA district and its showpiece facility designed by Mario Botta. Inviting comparison to the preeminent Museum of Modern Art in New York City, the museum re-branded itself "SFMOMA".
