The recently-revamped SFMOMA, which is arguably San Francsico's prime repository of modern and contemporary art, will be offering three free hours to visitors Thursday evening, in a gesture intended to honor the victims of the devastating fatal fire at Oakland's Ghost Ship artists collective.

The museum, which is open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. today, announced via Twitter Wednesday that the last three hours of operation — from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. — would be free of the organization's usual admission fee. Typically, adults pay $25, seniors $22, those aged 19-24 pay $19, and museumgoers under 18 are admitted free.

"As advocates for the contemplative and restorative power of modern and contemporary art, SFMOMA offers the Bay Area community a chance to reflect with the collection, friends and the arts community at no charge," they wrote in a press release. The free evening, they say, is "in recognition of the terrible loss to the Bay Area creative community through the recent tragedy in Oakland."
