More information on San Francisco Art Institute Galleries

Forty years later, the rooftop deck was added from which you can see a great deal of the city, including the Coit Tower and Twin Peaks. The Diego Rivera gallery contains a mural by Diego Rivera and a strong collection of student work. The Walter McBean gallery includes contemporary works by established and emerging artists.
