About This Tour in San Francisco

In these curated tours, staff from the California Migration Museum will take you on an innovative audio walk through a slice of migration history in San Francisco. You'll use the Museum's FREE app, (available to download at www.calmigration.org), but also get an opportunity to dive deeper into the research and behind-the-scenes process that created the tours. In Chinatown, Look Up takes us right into theaftermath of the 1906 earthquake. Can the community save Chinatown from being permanently erased? In 'At Home in the Castro?', we hear from a gay pioneer who watched the neighborhood transform into a queer homeland. And in the Mission, Coffee Country tells the story of how the neighborhood sheltered refugees from El Salvador’s civil war in the 1980s – but now finds itself under siege. Each 40 minute tours (the 3 separate tours can be combined) uses music, archive and augmented reality and pop-up installations to create an immersive, multi-sensory walk through history.
