App Description

FEATURES
Immersive Walks: Experience a new breed of guided narratives that take you through the galleries and out onto the streets of San Francisco. These 15–45 minute Immersive Walks feature a range of fascinating hosts, including high-wire walker Philippe Petit, Avery Trufelman from the 99% Invisible podcast, members of the SF Giants organization, and comedians from HBO’s Silicon Valley.
Museum highlights: Choose from our picks of things to see, hear, and do; hundreds of snack-sized (60-90 second) audio reflections and responses to artworks in the galleries, featuring composers, comedians, artists, playwrights, aerial dancers, pagan ministers and many more.
What’s on the Museum: Exhibitions, events, cafes, artists-in-residence, interpretive spaces and other activities.
