This will be a unique Islamic Art museum in San Francisco that will house specialty artifacts from the Islamic culture; specifically ancient and contemporary Islamic art. The administration and curators of the building will be in charge of acquiring these pieces of art. The designer envision the managing organization of the building to have expertise in Islamic Art and History, giving them adequate knowledge in how to put together a successful museum that will appeal not only to the significant Islamic groups, but also to the general public that is interested in art. This will be the first museum specialist in Islamic art in San Francisco. The tourists and visitors will have fun and they will take away a greater knowledge and deeper understanding of Islamic art. This experience will also make them understand the relationship between the great Islamic civilizations in the past through these art pieces due to the fact that the elements stemming from this are based on Muslims values, morals, and social elements. Moreover, there will be six specialists on staff who work with Islamic art, and two managers they will help the visitors understand the artifacts and also be able to answer all of their questions. The museum in this level will be enough to host two hundred people. The reason behind making the museum start on the entry level is to make it easy for everyone to get in and to also attract more visitors.
