SFMOMA

On Sunday, we spent the day in San Francisco, meeting up with some friends for a leisurely brunch, then going to the SFMOMA, or Museum of Modern Art.

We saw lots of Matisse



some Picasso



and some interesting sculptures, such as this one by Marcel Duchamp.



My favorite was an untitled Yves Klein piece, though seeing the jpg hardly does the painting justice. In person, it was full of movement and life, like children playing, jumping, running, and laughing.



There were also some great interactive exhibits involving lights and mirrors. Juma was delighted to poke his head into a black opening in the wall only to see thousands of reflections of himself.

This room was so brightly lit by yellow lights that color seemed to be washed to nothing but a yellow-ish gray.



Nearby, in Yerba Buena Park, we stopped at a Martin Luther King, Jr., memorial behind an artificial waterfall. Juma just thought it was too loud.
