SFO's One-of-a-Kind Art Museum

A podcast episode from The Bay takes listeners on a behind-the-scenes tour of the SFO Museum, the only museum in an airport accredited by the American Alliance of Museums. Curators Daniel Calderon and Nicole Mullen explain how the museum operates 25 exhibition sites throughout the terminals, drawing from temporary collections rather than a permanent one. They highlight current displays including the AIDS Memorial Quilt, vintage telephones, women in Afrofuturism, and Chinese ceramics, and note that the museum offers free access even to non-travelers with advance notice.
