I took a week of vacation in July and spent a few days in San Francisco. This was my first time to visit this city, so I had to explore some of the museums while I was there.
Topping my list was the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. I had heard so many great things about their collection, and I have often referred to their teacher resources. I spent a wonderful morning there, and I can’t wait to visit again.
I also visited the de Young Museum. I particularly loved their large collections of African art and Oceanic art.
Lastly, I visited the Contemporary Jewish Museum, where I had one of my best museum experiences ever. I watched a scribe writing a Torah scroll, participated in the People’s Torah, listened to Jews on Vinyl, and explored an exhibition of works of art by Maira Kalman.
I hope to make it back to San Francisco soon so that I can visit some of the city’s other great museums!
