Want to see the beach, cuddly cats or maybe a picture of sunshine to brighten your day? To help the community better appreciate and view art, a San Francisco museum is sending pictures directly to you via text messages.

The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art or SFMOMA says the collection is so large only about 5% is located in the gallery at any time. In a release the museum said to show the entire collection at once would require the construction of another seventeen SFMOMAs and you would need to walk the equivalent of 121.3 miles to see each piece.

Since the average visitor only spends about 7 seconds on a piece of artwork, they decided to start up the "Send Me SFMOMA." If you text the number 572-51 with the words “send me” followed by a keyword, a color, or even an emoji you will receive artwork similar to that request.

 

Within four days, more than 12,000 text message requests were received, generating over 3,000 different artworks to be sent out.
