Wonderful museum. My son loved the little book for kids where they had a light board and shadow puppets. All of the exhibits were beautiful and it was great for little ones. The staff were also very friendly and welcoming.
The Contemporary Jewish Museum is free the first Friday of the Month. I got the tickets online and arrived when it opened at 11am. There were 4 exhibits, one was going to end the next day so I was lucky to be able to see it. The front desk scans you ticket barcode and you can begin to explore. The exhibits are very interesting and some even made me emotional. They are engaging and they make you ask yourself certain questions. The photography exhibit was very personal, we got a glimpse inside the artist’s life. The exhibits are not big, but the creative space and art are mentally and emotionally engaging. If you are free the first Friday of the month, I recommend you come with the free ticket.
Three major exhibits that are thought provoking and pertinent to the times. Plus other artist exhibits that do not disappoint! Worth the time and the price is right! Right across from the Martin Luther Jr. Memorial and in the heart of Yerba Buena area! Plenty around to see after! Close to SFMOMA. Include it in your plans to San Francisco!
I happened to visit when they had very limited exhibition but also offered 50% for admission that felt nice. Stuff is the nicest and kindest - I really haven’t met so polite strangers for a really long time. Thank you!
Will definitely come back for next exhibitions.

Saw the Jim Henson exhibit and it was a small venue but awesome. The museum is clean and close to public transit. Plenty of places near by for food as well as what looked like a cafe inside.
It’s the best museum! Worth the visit for the architecture. They offer free general admission on first Tuesday of ever month. At the entry gate you have to stop for checking. They conduct tours, have conference hall. Brilliant architecture, great collection. Makes you think about the art and culture of Jewish people. On the second floor one section was closed due to some work in progress. They will probably start it in March!
Lovely contemporary art museum in San Francisco. No parking, nice little cafe inside. Special exhibitions that change frequently cover a wide variety of topics and media. Went on a great docent tour of the special exhibition which really helped me understand the symbolism in the works.
