About the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco
SF Ballet is pleased to collaborate with the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco (FAMSF). Join us throughout 2026 for special pre-performance talks, lectures, family dance-along workshops, sensory friendly programs, a chamber music series, and more. The cross-disciplinary partnership forges new collaborations across San Francisco’s cultural sector and furthers the Ballet’s mission of infusing fresh perspectives into ballet while uplifting local creativity.
The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco oversee the de Young museum, located in Golden Gate Park, and the Legion of Honor, in Lincoln Park. It is the largest public arts institution in San Francisco, and one of the most visited arts institutions in the United States.
The Legion of Honor, modeled after the neoclassical Palais de la Légion d’Honneur in Paris, celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2024. The collections on view include ancient art from the Mediterranean basin; European painting, sculpture, and decorative arts; and the Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts, the largest collection of works on paper in the American West, including costume and set designs by celebrated artists from Ballets Russes designer Léon Bakst, to avant-garde painters Natalia Goncharova, Pablo Picasso, and Marie Laurencin, to contemporary artist Marcel Dzama. Highlights from this special collection are currently on view at the Legion in the exhibition “The Dress Rehearsal: The Art of Theatrical Design”, open through May 11, 2025.
The FAMSF Department of Contemporary Art and Programming (CAP) presents an innovative and dynamic program of Contemporary Art commissions, exhibitions, and interventions that incite dialogues, embrace a multiplicity of perspectives, and shed new light on both the past and the present. Recent programs and acquisitions include works by Yinka Shonibare, Wangechi Mutu, Pierre Huyghe, Hito Steyerl, Carrie Mae Weems, and 30 Bay Area artists through the transformative Svane Gift among many others.
