Through history exhibitions, resident-led walking tours, community programs, and the presentation of original artwork, the Tenderloin Museum invites all comers to learn about the roots of our dynamic neighborhood, and reclaim our city's past and future. The 31 blocks of the Tenderloin District are a microcosm of San Francisco, peopled by immigrants and iconoclasts, artists and activists, sinners and saints. All are welcome to join us in telling its story.
The mission of the Tenderloin Museum is to explore and visualize the neighborhood's history. To realize that goal, programming and exhibitions will be shaped by specific themes: Entertainment, the Built Environment, Political and Social Activism, and Diversity. The Museum's permanent installation will be complemented by discreet exhibitions that highlight specific aspects, individuals, and moments of the district's history. The Tenderloin Museum will host an wide range of music, dance, and spoken word performances that are sure to appeal to a wide range of audiences.
