For those of you, who live in San Francisco and Bay Area, I would like to remind: there are two major art exhibitions, which can’t be missed: Dale Chihuly at the De Young Museum and Frida Kahlo at the Museum of Modern Art.
I already wrote about Dale Chihuly in my post Dale Chihuly’s Glass Creations in San Francisco.
The beauty of his creations is indisputably the work of a genius, who sees the colors, the light and the life, surrounding us in such a manner, that every glass sculpture becomes a triumph of the human mind, skill and limitless possibilities, once again brilliantly noticeable. Even if you are “not into art”, visiting this particular exhibition should be on your agenda.

The exhibition of Frida Kahlo’s works at SOMA is a different story: it simply must be seeing. The talented artiste, who lived a life full of pain: tragic accident, mad love and crippled body, but remained a strong individual and left her mark as an artist, despite being in a shadow of her famous husband – Diego Rivera , is present in every painfully raw with emotions painting.
Reading a following article will help you better understand her work: Wikipedia about Frida Kahlo.
Tickets for both exhibitions are sold on a timed system to regulate amount of people in the gallery at any given time:
