Take a peek into the SFMOMA archives 📂👀

Henri Matisse’s “Femme au chapeau” (Woman with a Hat) made its US public debut at our museum in 1936, just one year after our founding. Since joining our collection in 1991, it’s been on view almost continuously, welcoming generations of visitors to explore the story of modern art.

Swipe through to see historic photographs and archival glimpses of this remarkable bond between modern art history and SFMOMA history ✨

Journey along “Femme au chapeau’s” century-long odyssey for yourself in “Matisse’s Femme au chapeau: A Modern Scandal.” Reserve your ticket today.
