San Francisco is one of my most favorite cities in the world, culturally, historically, and geographically. And while the outdoor options in San Francisco are many and, in my opinion, the best options, because of frequent rain, it’s good to know where you can quickly duck inside for a few hours of dry before going back out and braving the weather. Here is a list of fantastic museums in the San Francisco Bay Area that provide exactly that (not that you can’t go in on a sunny day too…):
- San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
- Asian Art Museum of San Francisco
- Lawrence Hall of Science – Berkeley, California
- de Young Museum
- Exploratorium
- Randall Museum
- Aquarium of the Bay
- Wax Museum at Fisherman’s Wharf
- Ripley’s Believe it or Not! Museum
- Musee Mecanique
- Coit Tower
- Cable Car Museum
- Museum of the African Diaspora
- Yerba Buena Center for the Arts
- Octagon House
- Bay Area Discovery Museum – Sausalito, California
- Natural History Museum
Stay dry!
