- Cristian GonzalezAugust 13, 2014Architecturally inspiring -amazing views to the Golden Gate Bridge. Rodin's The Thinker frames the entrance, setting the tone for a unique collection. From medieval to modern art, Rodin to porcelain.

- Steve OatneyJanuary 28, 2014Much better art-museum than expected. Not sure why I assumed it would not be impressive, as I was surely proved wrong. A great collection and great featured exhibits! A must-see for art-lovers.
- Julia LuAugust 3, 2018A really beautiful area of the city! After the museum go to Lands End, which is nearby, for a hike.
- Steven KayeAugust 7, 2021Really the entire museum is great. QR codes to pull up text about the exhibits plus audio, a wide range of exhibits, and some interesting juxtapositions.
- Visiting the special exhibits are definitely worth it. ☺ Here is a photo from the special Truth and Beauty exhibit.
- The museum opens at 9:30, and if you get there early it's much less crowded. When you are done, take a walk and check out the views!
- Excellent regular collection and creative special exhibitions. Focused on European art. Also amazing views!
- Ali AndersonMay 10, 2015A SF hidden gem - museum has a real Claude Monet water lily painting! Worth the admission - great view and artwork.

- On Saturday & Sunday, admission is free at 4:30pm - 5:00pm. Come listen to the pipe organ played by a master. The sweet spot is inside in the middle of the rotunda between the entry & the keyboard.
- Christian LoredoOctober 2, 2011If you eat at the Museum Cafe, go for the BLT, and have them add a bit of Brie for an extra dose of deliciousness! Mmmmmmmm
- Adam SmithFebruary 11, 2013This place would be a lot better if the curators didn't carry on conversations among themselves so loudly. The organ playing is amazing.
