SFMOMA’s Kusama exhibition features two incredible infinity mirror rooms along with more of Kusama’s iconic work. The exhibition will unfortunately be closing soon then originally expected on May 28. The good news is that one infinity room will return on June 22, and you can visit without the additional surcharge. This means you can see the exhibition for free on the museum’s free days as well.
