Snapped SF: Liebskind's Contemporary Jewish Museum
Tuesday, October 16, 2007, by Sarah Hromack

Snapped SF is a photographic essay on San Francisco featuring snaps that capture our fine city at its oddest angles and most overlooked moments. Today's photog is Flickr user and commercial photographer Kira Sugarman. Do you shoot and post? Join the Curbed SF paparazzi— we choose a new photog each and every time.

While the Contemporary Jewish Museum is now over 75% complete, this shot, taken back in May, captures the building from a unique vantage point— workers here are installing the blue panels that now cover Daniel Liebskind's design, based on the Hebrew word "l'chaim" or "to life." Holding mixed feelings about his Berlin effort, we're truly looking forward to seeing this museum complete and installed with objects (the true test!).

I can't wait for the museum to open. Does anybody know when it will open? What will happen to the fenced-off area on Mission, across the street from the Yerba Buena gardens? Will it be a plaza?
