Big shout out to SFO because they had one of my favorite exhibits which was the KAWS exhibit. I recently signed up to become a member, and it also came with the toy, which is shown here in the picture. The membership definitely is worth it because you can bring up to three guests.. There's also another bunch of perks such as 10% off at the store 25% off at the parking and also 10% off in the shop. The service here is super friendly. Staff is always going to help you out and the value that you get as well as definitely worth it because you can come visit the museum anytime you want and it also comes with a different perks.

Had a wonderful time at MOMA. The ever changing exhibits makes it a great time each visit. The staff are always very helpful and there's plenty to see for the art connoisseurs. I loved that they had multiple medias showcased. I will say as we were leaving a member was informing the staff her car got broken into in the garage (it was daylight) but other than that...admissions is reasonable for a day in the city. Plenty to do in the area as well.

I love museums and I love museums stores almost as much. Here you'll find plenty of modern artsy gifts. Fun jewelry, lamps, clocks, items for kids, and of course, coffee table-worthy books on art, design and architecture, and artists. Really so much fun stuff. Great place for gift shopping. It's not a large store, but it's a fun place to explore, especially if you're in search of that unique gift. Like most museums, there's a public entrance where you can enter the store at the main entrance, without actually paying for entrance to the museum. I always tell myself that I'll make a stop just to look, but somehow I always end up making a purchase, lol. For members, you get 10% off. Not a lot, but at least something because items are kinda pricey.

I wanted to get some S.F. shirts for a few of the kiddos in my life before a flight back to LA. I walked in on a Thursday afternoon. The entry hall was busy, but not crowded. The large common areas were clean. Staff was welcoming and well-appointed throughout the entry. I noticed the gift shop right away and walked in to browse. I ended up spending $200+ dollars on a few of the curated items. Overall, it was a great afternoon.

Cool jewelry!

During a free day in San Francisco I was saddened to learn that the SFMOMA Museum was closed. What I didn't anticipate was spending so much time and having so much fun in their store. From jewelry, to scarves, to books, to light fixtures, to household gadgets they truly have it all. The staffers are friendly and engaging, allowing me to look at and try on several pieces of jewelry in their sale case. They were also sure to alert me of an upcoming Trunk Show (if only I was still going to be in town!). With my suitcase chock full and my backpack weighing heavily down on my shoulders I opted out of making any purchases - tho I was most definitely tempted. If you are visiting the museum, or just passing by, definitely stop in to this gift shop for a fun gift or keepsake.

See all

Well, ok, this place isnt close to Union Sq, about a mile away, but it was a perfect delicious end destination for a post dinner stroll! I like bookstores and I like eclectic, unique ones. I'll go to Barnes & Noble if I had no other choice, but my favorite bookstores are independent ones and ones where they carry very unique books you can't find elsewhere. This bookstore made my inner little nerdy self so happy. I immediately got lost up front looking at very recent publication by Ai Weiwei. I then wandered onto the main floor and found an entire section of Asian works, which you will not find at B&N. I also found books from Norwegian writers too which I had never seen before, which thrilled me. I then made my way up to their attic floor which is dedicated to poetry and seems I just missed Allen Ginsberg's Howl centennial celebration. Ugh! I then came back down and then proceeded to their basement section and again I was quite pleasantly surprised by the depth and breadth of Asian themed books they had. They had plenty of the Chinese classics in English and found so many different versions of Journey to the West, I was completely overwhelmed. And then, saw an entire section on Africa and I had to fight hard to not pick up a copy of a book titled Prison Letters, which is a collection of Mandela's letters while imprisoned. I ultimately settled on two books by Ai Weiwei as he has continued to inspire me to be proud, to not conform, to be brave, to speak up, to be authentically and unapologetically me, to honor my ancestry and to push boundaries and to fight for what matters. And it just so happens too that my Chinese give name is also Weiwei. I loved coming to this bookstore and it will definitely be on rotation for me when I am in SF again.

( Chez Maman -also sublime ). Anyway, after dinner we decided to check out Christopher's Books. . It was kind of busy for a weeknight, which is so cool. Love that people like to peruse books, actually feel books in their hand and turn pages. you are my people. So I walked the whole book store, they have a tiny children's section, my sister who is a teacher, and a new grandma , settled there and bought a few books. I saw a book that I had heard about (All Fours) and heard the author interviewed on the radio, I picked it up and settled on it. I love that they have little handwritten cards describing some of the books and that there are employees picks, and what they liked about the book. When we went up to make our purchases, that is when I learned of Jimmy Carter's death. ( he had died that day and I hadn't yet heard ). There was a little handwritten card with his books at the counter and the card said, Jimmy Carter - 1924-2024. I said, "Oh my God did Jimmy Carter die?" We chatted about what a wonderful man he was, dignified, honest, his service to the people, the Habitat for Humanity legacy. His love for his wife who had preceded him ..... I digress. Anyway, if you're in the neighborhood, and you love books, and quaint spaces, check it out!
