Celebrate the opening of Matisse’s Femme au chapeau: A Modern Scandal by wearing your favorite hat to SFMOMA on Sunday, May 17, 2026.
The exhibition, on view from May 16 to September 13, 2026, explores the history and impact of Matisse’s iconic 1905 portrait of his wife, Amélie, a work that shocked Paris and became a cornerstone of modern art.
Visitors can take part in hands-on activities in the Koret Education Center on Floor 2 and the Gina and Stuart Peterson White Box on Floor 4, including making hats from recycled materials with SCRAP and crafting flores de papel. The event is family-friendly and open to all ages, and all activities are included with regular museum admission.
