Building and Expansion
In 2009 SFMOMA opened its 14,400 sq ft (1,340 m2) rooftop garden, designed by Jensen Architects in collaboration with Conger Moss Guillard Landscape Architecture. The space serves as an indoor/outdoor sculpture gallery and is connected to the museum's fifth-floor galleries by a glass-enclosed bridge.
SFMOMA plans to open a new wing in 2016. In July 2010 the museum selected Norwegian architecture firm Snøhetta to design the expansion, which will triple the size of SFMOMA's galleries.
