Free admission for Tenderloin residents on Wednesdays

Step into the real story of San Francisco through a neighborhood that refuses to be defined by stereotypes. The Tenderloin Museum centers trans history and the 1966 Compton's Cafeteria Riot while celebrating jazz legends, immigrant resilience, and community activism that shaped the city.
