Suggestions for Museum near San Francisco

Tom C. • June 14, 2012You don't need a museum ticket to eat here and the canteen-style cafe is tasty and affordable. Just ask for a sticker at the desk. That said, check out the collection at least once, it's fantastic!

Anna L. • January 24, 2017The app is great and so are the audio tours (immersive walks) you can chose from the app. Loved the "I don't get it" walk. ☺👌🏻
