Contemporary Jewish Museum

Housed in a building designed by Daniel Liebskind, the Contemporary Jewish Museum sits in the shadows of the Metreon and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. The musuem's mission is to be a lively center that fosters community among people of diverse backgrounds through shared experiences with the arts by focusing on the celebratory nature of the Jewish experience. The museum holds a variety of exhibitions, special programs, and classes throughout the year.
