If you want to see a Diego Rivera mural, this is his most accessible of his three San Francisco murals. It’s also very beautiful and located in a gallery that houses the occasional exhibition.

Wonderful Diego Rivera mural which we had all to ourselves! Free entry. Really close to Lombard Street steps, but this is much more enjoyable.

Beautiful building and architecture. Famous for its mural from Diego Riviera. The roof top has amazing views for your morning coffee or afternoon snacks and chill. You can explore the building and it’s beautiful corners. We were lucky to see some students temporary exhibitions. 🎨💙

Very large building with weekend exhibitions and events. It’s well located next to the harbour. It’s very busy over the weekend with lots of people walking around! I went when there was a local arts and crafts exhibition, well organised and many many vendors.
