While we work on a meaty and insanely brilliant review of the recently opened JewMu -- which is, in fact, kind of way awesome, complete with numerous, noted artists responding to the Book of Genesis, and a nifty Laurie Anderson sound piece based on a letter of the Hebrew alphabet -- here's a possible Benetton ad or picture featuring former Mayor Willie Brown at the museum.

Did you go? If so, what say you? (We loved it, but there was an open bar flowing that night, so we cannot say for certain.)

Finally, this town is getting some worthy architecture. John King (SF Chronicle) saw a lot of good points in the building but stopped short of calling it great. NY Times critic Edward Rothstein basically said it wasn't Jewish enough for him. Fog City Journal was closer to the mark in my opinion.
