Review:
The Tenderloin Museum tells the story about the Tenderloin district, one of San Francisco's least known and most misunderstood neighborhoods. The district consists of 31 blocks in the heart of the city, full of immigrants, rebels, artists, and activists. The Tenderloin Museum presents a colorful mosaic of an American city in all its aspects. The Tenderloin's turbulent history has been regularly ignored in history books about San Francisco. The Tenderloin Museum tries to change that by offering visitors famous walking tours, showing interactive exhibition space, or organizing a range of public programs. The stories they tell are about the legendary venue Blackhawk Jazz Club, immigrant stories of people from around the world who made the Tenderloin their new home, the role of the district as a center of LGBTQ activism and the 1966 Compton's Cafeteria Riot, and much more.
