What's on now at San Francisco museums, January 2026
"On Sunday, Jan. 4 (Free First Sunday), there is a host of activities, including an AR scavenger hunt. I love the outdoor murals along Hyde Street by artist and activist Kayan Cheung-Miaw. " This Asian American Life " shows scenes from Chinatown from the POV of a child. It is part of a public art series on Chinatown's mothers, workers, and tenants."
"" Rave into the Future: Art in Motion " is open until Jan. 12. Julie Zigoris writes that the curator, Naz Cuguoğlu, calls it a "love letter to the dance floor," constructed around nine stages that mimic the experience of going to a rave." Roombas spewing glitter are part of the after-party. " Jitish Kallat: Covering Letter (Terranum Nuncius) " invites visitors to reflect on the things that unite humanity. Chandigarh-based artist Gurjeet Singh's show " When Words Hurt" is open through March 23, 2026."
A local gallery guide updates weekly and maintains an Instagram account and website.
