With over 34,000 pieces of art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art is only capable of showing a small fraction of its vast collection at a time.

So, they've come up with an ingenious way to get it in front of you: right from your phone.

Their art discovery tool is an SMS service called "Send Me SFMOMA" and it's simple to use. Here's how it works:

Text 572-51 with the words "send me" followed by a keyword, a color, or even an emoji and you'll receive a related artwork image and caption via text message.

I played around with it for awhile. Not everything you input will result in an artwork: send-me-poop-emoji-600x563.png

But, when it does works, it's fun to see what gets delivered back: Send-me-orange-SFMOMA-600x775.pngsend-me-warhol-600x638.jpgSend-me-wild-and-crazy-600x835.png
