Really? The San
Francisco Mobile Museum is an
experiment. We're playing with short-run
exhibits that appear in store fronts,
parks and social spaces. They span high
participation, locally grown creations,
to randomly curated concept-driven
exhibits.

Last Exhibit FREE SHRINES:
FREE SHRINES is an exhibit where we are
explored the history, meaning and
spontaneous use of shrines with you. We
looked at public, religious and cultural
examples, and invited you to add your
wishes, locations, and remembrances on
site.
Our exhibit challenge invites you to
create a shrine of your own, to show at
the exhibit. Something that can fit in
the palm of your hand.
HERE'S THE FREE SKINNY.
Where & when did it open?
FREE SHRINES opened at the
Exploratorium After Dark, and had limited showings and
evolution last season. It may re-emerge
late Summer or Fall 2011. We post
showings on our
blog,
Facebook, and
Twitter.
PAST EXHIBIT: LOOKING FOR
LOCI
Denver: 06/12/09 - 7/20/09, San
Francisco: 08/28/09 - 12/31/09
[This exhibit was a collaboration
between SFMM & the
Denver Community Museum]
A call was put out to 37 citizens of the
Bay Area & Denver -children and
adults- to create a shadow box conveying
the
Genius Loci
of a place. These collections from the
residents of each city are being
displayed side-by-side. First in Denver,
then in San Francisco.
"Looking for Loci" lives on at the
blog, where the 37 stories are posted,
along with notes from visitors to our
mobile map.
The Mobile Map
|
In San Francisco,
visitors and
participants were
invited to add a story
about the Genius Loci of
their special place on a
map or on the
blog.
