    Distinctive: The architecture is what really sets the SFMoMA apart-- its distinctive center tower stands out above Yerba Buena Gardens and houses an amazing bridge inside. Floors and spaces flow into one another and with each installation you never know what to expect. The curators are working hard to attract world-class exhibits, with mixed results. The SFMoMA's permanent collection is quite good, and worth visiting again and again.

    Definitely worth the trip for any San Francisco visitor.
