My Trip to San Francisco



My sister and I took a little drive to San Francisco yesterday and attended the Frida Kahlo exhibition. The Show was AWESOME!! What an experience!! The paintings were beautiful and each seem to be entirely different works of art in person. Being able to view the true colors, textures and detail in person was definitely amazing. The Dos Fridas is Unbelievable, it took my breath away. Oh, and "Moses", it is beautiful in person. I highly recommend everyone who is a Frida Kahlo fan like myself to go and check-out the SF exhibit if you have the chance to, you will not be disappointed.

Aftering the Frida Kahlo show at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, I took off to attend another exihibition at the de Young, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. I attended the Dale Chihuly exhibition, which was also VERY COOL! I would describe it as hand blown glass arts with a fantasy / dream like twist. It is so colorful, and reminds me of E.T. meets Willy Wonka, meets Dr. Seuss, SO AWESOME! I also paid the very low bargain price of $5 dollar admission for the Chihuly show too.

FYI, All the museums in San Francisco are FREE admission on the FIRST TUESDAY OF THE MONTH, but this excludes special exhibits like the "Frida Kahlo" and Chihuly" which is $5, but still is a BARGAIN PRICE compared to paying the full admission price on the museums regular day. This is good info to know because you will save up to about $15 bucks!

I am so excited about an exhibit in San Francisco that has opened up called, "Frida Kahlo", featuring 50 of Frida's paintings such as "Los Dos Fridas". Frida Kahlo is a renowned artist, And still remains a cultural icon decades after her death in 1954 at age 47. I am definitely going to make it to the to the SF exhibit to check-out and take in Frida Kahlo's incredible, and striking art works in person!


The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art exhibition opened up June 14 and will continue through Sept. 28. Click here for details: http://www.sfmoma.org/
