Contemporary Jewish Museum

There's a Wi-Fi network called "CJM-Guest" and the password is: welcometocjm

Get some lunch at the (Jewish) deli downstairs and then wander through the exhibits . The gift shop is a random mix of high-end pieces from Israel and tourist junk like the Grumpy Cat book .

First exhibition seen here: Kubrick in the summer/fall of 2016, great museography with a perfect flow around his filmography and some wonderful set objects and annotated scripts.

First weekend of each month is free for all who have a Bank of America Visa (debit or credit). Very nice museum . We'll be back.

Take a picture with the Allen Ginsberg mural on Yerba Buena Lane, and see the exhibition "Beat Memories: The Photographs of Allen Ginsberg " on view through Sept 8.

Quiet Lightning has hosted a couple of literary events here. Great venue, and check out QL if you get the chance

Impress a date with the fact that you know there are 36 skylights in our Yud Gallery (inside the blue cube), and that the number represents double "chai ", the Hebrew word "life." Twice as nice. Read more

Be sure to grab the guide booklet for the Negev Wheel & do the exercises - especially 20 breaths!

Cozy avant-garde commentary on modern culture

This Daniel Libeskind-designed steel-and-brick building is a go-to spot for great architecture .

always worth a trip to whatever exhibit - they know how to tell a story - you will be entertained & educated

Check out the Amy Winehouse exhibition . Music , clothing , and family in one pink colored room.

Whether you're a Jew or not, you'll find something interesting at this little museum . Make sure you stop by Wise Sons for a pastrami on rye

The main exhibit is Gertrude Stein. The astonishing and overwhelming exhibit is the work of Charlotte Salomon who died at 25 or 26 in Oswieswiecim. Amazing.

Small scale but well curated contemporary art that can be fairly easily appreciated.

I see lovers rolling around in the grass or people sitting indian style in the grass eating their lunch . Don't do it. Every square inch of this place is drenched in dog emissions. Lovely plaza though.

Wish it was larger, and had more history to it. Went to see Jews on Vinyl and Maurice Sendak drawing exhibit before seeing Where the Wild Things are. Gift shop is great, but expensive . 4/5 stars.

If you are lucky enough to attend a program in Goldman Hall, look up. Those aren't random artsy lines decorating the celing, but an interpretation of an old map of Jerusalem.

Have lunch in the deli restaurant if you can - the food is all homemade and absolutely delicious!

Must attend the public tour . It's quite informative.

$14 admission, check out rotating exhibits to see if there is enough of interest to you

It's very small inside, if you go close to closing time they let you in for $5 instead of $20. Exhibition of Ginsberg photos is pretty good.

Walk around and experiment with different angles, featuring the blue building off of the museum . It’s one of the more interesting pieces of architecture in the city .

Free first weekend of every month for BofA customers.

The Bill Graham exhibit is spectacular.

Beat Memories, the photographed of Allen Ginsberg .

They have discount ($8/adult) every Thursday after 5pm (open until 8pm).

there are always super interesting shows up, grab lunch at wise sons when you're finished

It’s a beautiful museum with engaging rotating exhibits .

The sand wheels on the ground floor are the best things ever.

Beautiful architecture in the inside and the outside

The Ezra Jack Keats exhibit is amazing!!!!

Interesting exhibit opening Feb 11 called "Our Struggle". French artist Linda Ellia tore up Mein Kempf and asked artists to comment on the pages. Read more

Starting place for the SF City Guides: South of Market (SOMA) Architectural stroll

Great museum , excellent exhibits and events for all comers.

Do not miss their exhibitions , they are always excellent. My children got mesmerized by their exhibition on traditional Jewish Plates. Who could have guessed?

Great building, but the exhibition left me a little disappointed.

De la Paz Coffee café open every day from 8am-4pm

Come here when it's free as it's not worth paying entrance fee.
