CHM is ten minutes walk down Shoreline. If you don't think that's worth the trip to the otherwise insipid sf bay area, then I don't want to be your friend.
CHM is great and the docents there are fantastic. The Cantor Center at Stanford has a great little collection of art. There's also a TeamLab exhibition at PACE in Menlo Park that I hear is wonderful.
