So shiny and new

By Lauren Ro@blauring May 3, 2016, 12:30pm EDT

We hailed the newly Snøhetta-renovated San Francisco Museum of Modern Art an astounding, playful success, but you'll have to wait until May 14th for the official opening. In the meantime, catch a glimpse of the spectacular reimagining through a few of our favorite Instagram snaps from the press preview. They'll get you chomping at the bit for more.

We’re gearing up and getting so excited for the grand opening of @SFMOMA in May! Help us count down to press preview day TOMORROW with some of our favorite new snaps of the #museum #expansion. Here’s a #sunny view of the new #HowardStreet entrance where you can see all 10 floors and the #rippling #facade. Tag your favorite shots on @instagram of the building with #snohetta and #NewSFMOMA #SFMOMA. Photo by our very own @jon.mcneal!
