After the Musee D'Orsay in Paris, my favorite museum in the world. Like the d'Orsay - it is an example of cherry picking the best of the best. The museum building is a proportionally reduced replica of the Louvre Museum in Paris - and even the glass pyramid has been added - adding great viewing space to the building. If you had to choose one or two of the most beautiful examples of all the art our civilization has produced - to put on a small space ship for posterity - you could simply empty this place.And a bonus for tourist out front - the best view of the Golden Gate Bridge for photos
