Shomei Tomatsu and other multimedia at SFMOMA

If I hadn't known that the Shomei Tomatsu online exhibit, Skin of the Nation, existed somewhere on the SFMOMA site I would never have found it again. All the URLs I'd saved back in 2007 are now pretty well useless. The one link I found to the exhibit has no hint that there is multimedia still present for this exhibition.

I found the way there by doing a search  for Tomatsu on the main SFMOMA page and then clicking on 'Multimedia'. The interactive feature is the first item on the list. Once you find it, the online exhibit is very good, although it's easy to lose your place. Images can be magnified and there are little audiovisual popups for many of  them. There are also links on the first page to podcasts relating to this artist.

I finally figured out that there was a link to Mulitimedia under the "Explore Modern Art" tab on the main SFMOMA page. Once you click on that site, you can explore and find a wealth of resources. Interactive features go back to 1998, video to 1995, and audio with still images to 2000. Most (maybe all) videos have accompanying text as well, so you can follow along with the spoken word. And there are usually links to other pages about the artists you're interested in.
