Museum Monday 2021/10

 8 March 2020 was my last visit to an art museum before the great shut-down, so to mark the one-year anniversary of that trip to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, here are the last two photographs I took that day (since the last one was, rather drably, just a picture of an exhibit name, I'm including the second-to-the-last photo as well, since it is of actual art – a photo of a photo)
