One week California trip- 1st timers
If you want museums, you'll have to spend some time in L.A.
San Francisco is a joke as far as museums go. certainly not exhaustive. You could spend more than that in the Los Angeles area and not see half of it, but on your schedule you may not want to do that (however, I strongly disagree with the Northern California bias that there's nothing worth seeing in LA or southern California). If you will have or can arrange a car a two-day drive up |

One week California trip- 1st timers
Used to be true. But we now have 2 wonderful ones. the new Asian Art Museum opened a few months ago and is magnificent. Also, the SF Museum of Modern Art (whatever you think of modern art- which for me is generally not much) has the only US showing of an incredible Chagall exhibit. It was breath taking! It's here til November 4th but you must get tickets ahead of time. You can get them on-line. HINT! If they send you the tickets, the line to get in is huge. If you have them hold them at will-call, you go in a separate line and I only waited 15 minutes which they said is typical. But there's some truth that San Francisco doesn't have much in the way of quality art museums. And right now it's worse because the DeYoung, the city's main art museum, is closed while they build a new one. Hopefully the collection at the new one will be better- the old one was miserable. At least it had better have more to it to make up for the building design which is painful to even look at! Anway- welcome!
