Planning a trip to San Francisco? Learn about the top eight museums and what makes them special in this travel video. Tip: If you're traveling with kids, the interactive exhibits at The Exploratorium are educational, fun, and safe for even very young children.
San Francisco’s museum scene is among the world’s best, in terms of both variety and quality.
The two Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco -- The de Young Museum & The Legion of Honor -- shouldn’t be missed.
The de Young contains one of the best collections of American art around.
The Legion of Honor, has an excellent collection of European art. The Rodin sculptures are not to be missed.
Visit the Asian Art Museum to see one of the most extensive collections of Asian art in the world. Art and artifacts from a vast number of Asian cultures spanning thousands of years of history can be seen here.
On the other hand, the Contemporary Jewish Museum doesn’t keep a collection at all. This museum focuses on exhibitions, so there’s always something new and current.
But San Francisco’s museums aren’t restricted to art. One of the city’s best museums is the California Academy of Sciences. This extensive natural science museum has an aquarium, a rainforest exhibit, a planetarium, and much more.
The Exploratorium is another great science museum -- geared towards kids. The interactive exhibits are educational, fun, and safe even for very young children.
The Mechanical Museum is another interactive museum. Play one of the hundreds of old-fashioned penny-arcade games in the collection.
Finally, visit the Cable Car Museum to learn about the history of San Francisco’s cable cars and how they work.
San Francisco’s museums bring everyone closer to an understanding of life in San Francisco and beyond.

The Boundaries of Pluralism
Sh'ma: A Journal of Jewish Responsibility celebrated its move to the West Coast with a conversation at the Museum on the boundaries of pluralistic dialogue and engagement.
The conversation was moderated by Shma editor Susan Berrin and featured panelists, including Rabbi Lavey Yitzchak Derby, Karen Kushner, Peter L. Stein, and Carole Zawatsky.
Rabbi Lavey Yitzchak Derby, rabbi of Congregation Kol Shofar in Tiburon, has been instrumental in creating a community built on the principles of Torah study, spirituality, quest, practice, and social action. He is an eighth-generation direct descendant of Reb Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev, for whom he is named, and is part of a family line of rabbis that traces back to the year 1500. Before coming to Kol Shofar, Lavey served as the executive director of the Council on Jewish Life, a community-building department of the L.A. Federation, and as director of Jewish education at the 92nd Street Y in New York. He is past President of the Northern California Board of Rabbis.
Karen Kushner is executive director of the Jewish Welcome Network, a nonprofit initiative that provides outreach consultation and resources to synagogues, agencies and Jewish schools of all denominations and affiliations in the Bay Area. For over 20 years Karen was a family educator. With Anita Diamant, she is co-author of How to raise a Jewish child: a practical handbook for family life. And, with her husband, Rabbi Larry Kushner, she has written Because nothing looks like god, Where is god? What does god look like? and How does God make things happen?
Peter L. Stein is the Executive Director of the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival, the first and largest of its kind in the world and a field leader in the use of media to foster cross-cultural understanding. Prior to taking the helm at SFJFF in 2003, Stein was an executive producer at KQED (PBS/San Francisco), where from 1988-1999 he was responsible for developing and producing a wide range of series and programs for American public television. His feature-length documentary The Castro, which he wrote, produced and directed, won a Peabody Award. From 1999-2003 he served as Deputy Director for Programming at The Jewish Museum San Francisco (now the Contemporary Jewish Museum).
Carole Zawatsky is the Chief Program Officer at the Jewish Community Center of San Francisco. A seasoned museum professional, Carole most recently served as founding executive director of the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage in Beachwood, Ohio, where she oversaw the museums role as a cultural center for Jewish life and history in the region. She served as the director of education at The Jewish Museum, New York, from 1998 until 2004. She was program coordinator at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., from 1994 to 1998, where she conceptualized, developed, and implemented programs that focused on the lessons of the Holocaust for a broad public audience.

Visiting the Yerba Buena Gardens | San Francisco
Watch more How to Visit San Francisco videos:
Planning a trip to San Francisco? Learn about the Yerba Buena Gardens, one of the city's nicest parks, in this travel video.
San Franciscans love their parks, and Yerba Buena Gardens is a local favorite. This park covers two city blocks with open space and carefully tended gardens. It’s an escape from the city within the city and it’s also a good destination for those travelling with children.
The park has many kid-friendly amenities, including a vintage carousel, an ice-skating rink, and the Children’s Creativity Museum.
The gardens are also a place to experience local arts. Public art can be found throughout the park. The most notable piece of artwork is the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Fountain. This awe-inspiring monument is made up of shining slabs of glass with excerpts from Dr. King’s speeches inscribed upon them, water flowing over the words.
Yerba Buena Gardens doesn’t limit itself to public art. The Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, located right in the park, welcomes all kinds of contemporary artists.
The fine arts are well represented in the Center’s museum, while musicians and dancers take the stage. Independent films of all genres are also given screenings here.
Many of San Francisco’s best museums are also in the vicinity of the park. The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Cartoon Art Museum, the Contemporary Jewish Museum and the Museum of the African Diaspora are all minutes away.
The Yerba Buena Gardens’ location and amenities make it a cultural oasis in the middle of the city.

Gallery Chat with Joe Goode
Joe Goode, Artistic Director and Founder of Joe Goode Performance Group (JGPG in a dynamic conversation centered on movement, the body, and the role of voice and sound in dance, in response to the themes explored in the exhibition “Show Me As I Want To Be Seen” at The CJM.
“Show Me as I Want to Be Seen” presents the work of groundbreaking French Jewish artist, Surrealist, and activist Claude Cahun (1894-1954) and her lifelong lover and collaborator Marcel Moore (1892-1972) in dialogue with ten contemporary artists to examine the complex and empowered representation of fluid identity.

He was awarded a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship in 2007 and the United States Artists Glover Fellowship in 2008. In 2006, Goode directed the opera Transformations for the San Francisco Opera Center. His play Body Familiar, commissioned by the Magic Theatre in 2003, was met with critical acclaim. Formed in 1986, JGPG tours regularly throughout the United States, and has toured internationally to Canada, Europe, South America, Africa, and the Middle East.
