Guided Tours

Sundays, 11:30am – 1:00pm

Every Sunday, join us for a guided tour of the Counterculture Museum! Enjoy a more personalized, in-depth experience, gain greater context behind the exhibits, hear additional stories and explore the connections between the people, the music, art, ideas and social movements that made history.

Topics covered include:

• How movements like the Beat Generation transitioned into the counterculture of the 1960s.
• How the advent of television brought these tumultuous times straight into Americans’ living rooms.
• Feminism: more than a century of struggle for the vote, for women’s rights, liberation, and dignity.
• Movements for racial justice from SF to the nationwide civil rights movement.
• The drug culture, psychedelics, the Acid Tests, the Further bus and the Merry Pranksters.
• The Vietnam War and the peace movement that resisted it.
• Underground newspapers, the San Francisco Oracle, and underground comix.
• Rock ‘n’ roll, the Grateful Dead, the San Francisco Sound, and beyond.
• LGBTQ+ history and liberation.
• The environmental movement.

…and much more!
