Dispatches From the Archives January 11, 2011

How does a museum best known for showing the work of others choose to publicly present itself? This Koret Visitor Education Center exhibition showcases museum-produced ephemera, design pieces, and publications, while revealing the museum's long history of innovative programming and exhibitions. The materials are culled from SFMOMA's Library and Archives, which have recently processed and catalogued thousands of items spanning the museum's 75-year history. From exhibition posters and magazines to belt buckles and chocolate bars, the exhibition illustrates the story of an institution that cherishes the spirit of innovation.
