SFMOMA

Much like wine, one's appreciation for art seems to improve with age. Yesterday I had the opportunity to visit the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (more commonly known as SFMOMA). After queing for about 20 minutes, and paying the moderately steep entry fee of US$9, I wandered in amazement around this fairly large collection of modern art. There were the token single colour paintings with titles like 'Expression of Red" or "Yes, it's just blue paint on canvas!", but there were also plenty of interesting photographs, collages, paintings, and strangely shaped objects. I was able to see originals by Mondrian, Picasso, and Dali. Fantastic!! (and New York is still to come).
