The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art closes for three years to realize the Snøhetta-designed expansion.
On May 29, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) held a groundbreaking ceremony for its new 225,000-square-foot (20,900-square-meter) expansion designed by Snøhetta. For the three-year duration of the construction, SFMOMA will be closed, although they will be organizing off-site programming in the city and in the region.

Snøhetta's 10-story addition is sited behind Mario Botta's 5-story 1995 building across from Yerba Buena Gardens. The new building will more than double the museum's exhibition spaces through 130,000 square feet (12,075 square meters) of indoor and outdoor galleries.
