The Museum of San Francisco, located in downtown San Francisco, is the site of the first mint in the West. Built during the Gold Rush, the museum showcases San Francisco’s unique and colorful history through a variety of permanent and rotating exhibits. The museum is also available to rent for private events. 

Please note that the museum is closed from April through June for renovations and exhibit installations. Walking tours, History Live! presentations, and previously scheduled school group visits will be offered as usual. We’ll reopen in early July.
