We visited the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts one day which was the first Tuedsay of the month because that was their free admission day. There are no free parking available so we had to park at a garage a block away from the musuem. It is a very nice art museum featuring not only canvas or print art but also film and video. It was really crowded though probably because it was a free day.

Wyland Gallery is located at Pier 39. It is the type of place that I like to walk through but do not every buy. They have tons of Wyland's art from paintings to sculptures both glass and other materials. Wyland's art is mostly sea life and is done is a way that it looks like a cross between photography and fantasy painting. They carry some less expensive items and souvenirs but most art is out of reach for the average person as with most galleries. The art is beautiful.

One of the unreal places to visit and meet all the celebrities in one place. The Wax Museum have hundereds of wax made celebrities that look so real. I think the admission is a little bit expensive to see some waxed figures but I guess its worth the experience. Be careful because some kids did get freaked out with the horror figures.

I'm not one to write reviews but I wanted to let people know about my experience at Walter Adams Framers in the inner-sunset. I came in a few months ago with an old photograph of my mother from the 1950's, it was faded and stuck to some old cardboard. The young man who helped me was very courteous and patient and carefully removed the photo from the cardboard and asked what I had in mind for framing, I said I mainly wanted to preserve it, so he suggested a very simple frame with a double mat to accent the color in the photo, and he also took the time to explain that the materials they use were would preserve the piece forever. They said it would take two weeks to finish and that seemed like a long time for me, but once again he explained that they had four stores and that was the standard turnaround time to ensure quality for each job.
When I got the call that it was ready, I went in and he unwrapped the piece and I was blown away by the quality of the framing. The whole thing, the mats, the frame were cut perfectly, and it is also preserved with uv glass, which is all that they use.
I suggest anyone wanting to frame something with care and quality to visit one of their stores.

I have been to many openings in this gallery and am always impressed with the varied genre' of art they curate, and the artists are always of stellar quality. The wine bar offers a feeling of intimacy and the staff/owners are very chill. I would recommend this gallery to everyone wanting to check out the top notch gallery scene in SOMA.

I highly recommend the public tour. Last Sunday, my family and I visited the Museum and had a great time participating in the public tour. The tour guide was excellent at facilitating a dialogue among the group, and she really helped us think about all of the different exhibition themes and issues. The show itself is fascinating, because it offers alternative views of Jewish communities throughout the country. I was especially taken with the portraits of teens by Dawoud Bey. The photographs are accompanied by audio recordings of the teens discussing their own identity. It was moving to hear the teens' actual voices while looking at their portrait.
