Six months after announcing a $480-million fund-raising target, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art said Thursday that it has taken in $250-million so far, largely through contributions from core board members, reports the San Francisco Chronicle.

The new funds, collected before the start of a formal capital campaign, put the institution in a strong position to move on a projected expansion to house the Doris and Donald Fisher Collection of contemporary art, per an agreement struck with the Fisher family in September. The museum will exhibit 160 works, representing a little more than a tenth of the full collection, in late June as part of its 75th-anniversary celebration.
