This map is just the beginning. San Francisco is full of museums!

Description: There are so many museums in San Francisco that its just about

impossible to list them all: the Asian Art Museum (Chong-Moon Lee Center for

Asian Art and Culture), the Walt Disney Museum, the Cartoon Museum, the

Boudin Museum (Yes, we have a museum of sourdough bread), the new

Exploratorium on San Franciscos Embarcadero, right on the waters edge, the

Museum of the African Diaspora, and even the Musee Mechanique, a quirkymuseum located at San Franciscos Fishermans Wharf, featuring antique arcade

games that are surprisingly modern (and fun to play). The street artists who

paint portraits (and sometimes each other) at Ghirardelli Square are just part of

the art of San Francisco.

Sadly, as of this writing, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art is closed for

renovation, but there are so many other options for an art lover that you

probably wont miss it. Looking for culture? How about the Contemporary

Jewish Museum or the Mexican Museum?

Where you go and what you do is going to be up to you. Paul/Beatrice will

authorize tickets for up two museums. We suspect that once you integrate your

museum trips into your teams reporting themes youre going to have lots more

ideas about what else to do.

What youll get: CalTrain and MUNI tickets (2 rides per student) plus boxed

lunch. Tickets to museums.

What you need to plan: Pick the museums you want to visit and tell us so

we can get tickets for you or set aside the money youll need. You may wish to

take a cable car to Fishermans Wharf, for instance. (Your MUNI ticket will not

cover this so ask us in advance if you want to do this). Can you find an expert

or additional destination relevant to your reporting theme? Who will you talk

with? How will you get there and back?
