Museu da Sociedade Histórica GLBT

First stand-alone LGBTQ history museum in the United States, in a 1,600-square-foot Castro storefront. Rotating exhibitions draw from the GLBT Historical Society's archive of 1,000+ collections; past shows include Harvey Milk's camera shop and the 1966 Compton's Cafeteria riot. $10, free first Wednesdays. A planned Market Street expansion was approved by the Board of Supervisors in late 2024.

The CastroMuseums

Cable Car Museum

Working powerhouse for SF's cable car system since 1887, with a mezzanine that looks down on the 14-foot sheaves continuously hauling every cable that runs under the city streets. Free, takes about 30 to 45 minutes, with the Powell-Mason and Powell-Hyde lines stopping outside.
