The Tenderloin Museum

This little museum honors the history of one of San Francisco's most misunderstood neighborhoods. Discover how the Tenderloin became home to the world's biggest collection of single-room occupancy hotels, the legendary jazz artists who performed in the clubs, and the political and social movement that began there. The Compton Cafeteria Riot, which occurred before the Stonewall Riots in 1969, was one of the earliest LGBT-related riots in American history. On the corner of Taylor and Turk, there's a plaque commemorating the rebellion. During the lockdown, the Tenderloin Museum featured a multimedia installation developed by Bay Area artists.

Your timed ticket must be reserved in advance. Inquire about the walking tour, which includes stops at the hotel where Muhammad Ali used to spar as well as well-known recording studios.
