The Arts: General & Reference; Travel & holiday

San Francisco, a city of spectacular topography and cosmopolitan charm, now also boasts a formidable arts scene. A burst of activity centered around the opening of the Museum of Modern Art with its signature building by Mario Botta in 1995. Expansion by other museums, including projects by internationally renowned architects Aulenti, Herzog & de Meuron, Legoretta, Maki, and Polshek has further enhanced the city's profile. In addition, exhibition programs at alternative spaces and art schools have been reinvigorated, a new generation of artists and galleries has had a reenergizing effect, and the arrival of prestigious design stores has significantly enriched the dynamics. art-SITES San Francisco is an abundant compendium of practical information and in-depth discussions about the best places to see innovative work by local and international talents. Vivid commentaries make exploring the city easy and provide enlightenment about its cultural heritage. Illustrated with neighborhood maps, suggested walking tours, and helpful indexes, this invaluable handbook examines museums, galleries, exhibition spaces, film centers, cutting-edge architecture and interior renovations, public art, parks and gardens, design showrooms and boutiques, bookstores, festivals, and more. Coverage of the surrounding areas of Marin, Napa, Sonoma, the East Bay, the Peninsula, and San Jose makes it a truly comprehensive resource on the region.
