This exhibit is from the main library. It was from one of my last adventures there before it closed. It is all about how the landfill handles sitting around for so many years. It was interesting, but the photos don’t do it justice. Some bricks had imprints of paper that sat on it for years. It was a discovery of history that wasn’t meant to be discovered, but became a happy accidental find. There is so much history in our landfills just waiting to be discovered some day.
The above linked article tells about places that are offering virtual field trips. While you are working from home or quarantined, you can still see some of these places.
This is just a partial list. I heard that the Monterey Bay Aquarium is allowing people to watch the main tank while the aquarium is closed even before I saw this article. I am sure there are several others doing the same, that aren’t on the list.
Enjoy seeing the sites without even leaving home!
A few weeks ago, I spent time at the library, checking out the exhibits. The photos in this exhibit are by black photographers showing their neighborhoods and such. I am sorry about the glare, but I think the photos tell their own stories.
In the San Francisco main library, this exhibit is displayed. It is a series of photos taken by residents of the Bayview district in San Francisco. The photos are of the residents of the district.
It’s a small exhibit, but there’s a bound book with more photos to look at.
I was at the main library in San Francisco, after not being there for a few weeks. I found that they’d changed the displays and exhibits. The exhibit on artists, etc with disabilities was nice.
As I was walking through the exhibit, I found an artist I knew by reputation. I’ve read his book and I hope to read his upcoming novel. He had no idea that his likeness was in the exhibit. I hope he can get to the library to see it. 
I was not something I’d normally be interested in, but I took a look around and took photos. 
I got back to the library to finish the exhibits I didn’t see when I was there over the weekend. It wasn’t as large as I had expected, but there was a lot of information available.
The second exhibit I saw tonight was an artist who reproduces historical photos in drawings and paintings. Some of her work is from photos of the Native American Occupation of Alcatraz.
The San Francisco library is having exhibits honoring the 1969 native American occupation. I went to two of the talks, and I looked at two of the exhibits. There are two more that I haven’t gotten to. I am learning a lot that I wasn’t expecting to learn. I am amazed that a lot of this stuff wasn’t taught in school, and if it was, it was taught with a biased slant.
I plan on going back and finishing the other two exhibits.
I found this at the Sunset library. I need to look into it, too.
I have found all of this information fascinating. History that I had no knowledge of.
