Mission The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco have rendered a century of public service in the arts, and it is our mission to extend that service into the next century. More specifically, our mission encompasses the following goals: - To present a range of exhibitions of high quality which serve, are accessible to, and will draw broad audiences
- To provide extensive and innovative art education programs for people of all ages and interests
- To actively involve a diverse public in all of the museums' activities
- To conserve the objects in our care
- To collect new objects relevant to the collections through purchase and gift while affording a hospitable place for collectors in the community to donate art to the public with complete confidence
- To research and publicize the collections through scholarly publishing
- To maintain two museums outfitted to deliver exceptional visitor safety, comfort, and access as well as the environmental conditions necessary to preserve and protect art
- To operate within our goals with state-of-the-art efficiency
