SFO Museum is a fully-accredited museum… at the San Francisco International Airport.

We have over 20 gallery spaces located throughout the terminals with upwards of 1,300 objects on display at any given moment. We’ve produced over 1,500 exhibitions on topics such as Italian motorcycles, lunchboxes, Russel Wright, duck decoys, the fashion designers of aviation uniforms, and California’s natural history. We have a permanent collection of over 130,000 objects related to the history of commercial aviation. We have an aviation museum and library in the International Terminal, itself an architectural interpretation of the Airport’s 1930s passenger lobby. We care for the 100+ objects in the Airport’s growing public art collection, which includes work by Wayne Thiebaud, Arnaldo Pomodoro, Jay DeFeo, Yayoi Kusama, and Amy Ellingson. We’ve been doing this since 1980.

These are usually not things that most people think of when they think about going to the airport. We would like to change that. We think this is what we made the internet to do.
