SFMOMA to Double Photography Space in 2016 Expansion, Funded by John and Lisa Pritzker
After a significant expansion planned for 2016, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art will increase its photography exhibition area by twofold upon its reopening. The newly established Photography Center, located on the museum's third floor and covering over 11,000 square meters, will include a print study center, an interpretive center focused on photography's historical and social significance, and improved storage facilities. The center is funded by photography collectors John and Lisa Pritzker, in whose honor the space will be named, along with contributions from four additional benefactors. This expansion is designed to greatly improve the museum's ability to showcase and analyze photographic works.
