San Francisco Museum of Modern Art reopens after 3-year renovation

The revamped San Francisco Museum of Modern Art reopened on Saturday with a marching band, jumbo red balloons and red confetti raining down from the top of the new 10-story white building with a bulging side.

The celebration comes after a three-year redesign that nearly tripled the building's gallery space and added sculpture gardens, education spaces, a giant living wall and outdoor terraces with sweeping city views.

"The new SFMOMA is a manifestation of our city's deep respect for creativity," said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat, who along with San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee, museum Board Chairman Charles Schwab and Board President Bob Fisher, spoke during the reopening ceremony.
