MUSEUM OF THE AFRICAN DIASPORA Museum
Offline map Google map ( 415-358-7200; www.moadsf.org; 685 Mission St; adult/student $10/5; 11am-6pm Wed-Sat, noon-5pm Sun; & Montgomery St) A three-faced divinity by Ethiopian icon painter Qes Adamu Tesfaw, a stereotype in silhouette by American Kara Walker, a regal couple by British sensation Chris Ofili: this museum has assembled a standout international cast of characters to tell the epic story of diaspora. Memorable recent shows range from Romare Bearden’s graphic riffs on trains, jazz and family, to quilts by India’s Siddi community, descended from 16th-century African slaves. Themed interactive displays vary in interest and depth, but don’t miss the moving video of slave narratives narrated by Maya Angelou.
MUSEUM OF CRAFT & FOLK ART Art Gallery
Offline map Google map ( 415-227-4888; www.mocfa.org; 51 Yerba Buena Lane; adult/child $5/free; 11am-6pm Wed-Sat; & Montgomery St ) Vicarious hand cramps are to be expected from a trip to this small but utterly absorbing museum, where remarkable handiwork comes with equally fascinating backstories. Recent exhibitions showcased Korean bojagi (hand-pieced textiles), playful modern takes on iconic Mexican handicrafts and internationally acclaimed SF artist Clare Rojas’ urban folklore mural installations.
