Yerba Buena Center for the Arts

Arts & Culture · San Francisco, CA

About

Unlike many arts venues that focus on a single medium, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts presents films, performance, and visual art under one roof. It's San Francisco's premier contemporary art center, located three blocks from Union Square in the Financial District. The venue has a mixed identity: Yelp data lists it under coffee, and reviews mention the adjacent park as a perfect spot to chill after visiting the nearby MOMA. However, conflicting signals suggest the center may be permanently closed, so confirm before planning a visit.

From the community

“Be sure to walk behind the waterfall”

This park is one of those perfect city spots. It's a great place to relax while exploring downtown. You can sit on the grass across from the modern art museum, or visit a nice tea house with a view overlooking the area.
