The new Contemporary Jewish Museum opened this new building in downtown San Francisco on June 8, 2008. Architect Daniel Libeskind converted the landmark 1907 Jessie Street Power Substation into a bright and airy museum. The design features this blue stainless steel cube cutting through the old structure, in a manner similar to his expansion of the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM).
