Although the Contemporary Jewish Museum at 121 Steuart Street in San Francisco is now closed to the public, the completion of a new facility in San Francisco's Yerba Buena Gardens cultural district is scheduled for late Spring 2008. Founded in 1984, The Contemporary Jewish Museum has presented scholarly and artistic programs that explore the Jewish spirit and imagination for over 20 years. The Museum offers contemporary views and Jewish perspectives on culture, history, and art with programs reflecting global ideas that tie to the past and remain relevant to all people today. World-renowned architect Daniel Libeskind has been commissioned for the project; a development of the historic 1907 landmark Jessie Street Substation building originally designed by Willis Polk. The new 63,000 square foot museum will provide a welcoming space where people from all backgrounds may encounter, celebrate, and debate artistic forms of all varieties.
