THE TREASURE ISLAND MUSEUM

     Once upon a time, in San Francisco Bay, there lived a marvelous museum, with Bay Area "treasures" from Treasure Island's rich history of the military, the World's Fair and Pan Am Clipper flights.  The Treasure Island Museum Association nurtured this unique jewel for over 20 years, until it was closed in 1997.
     Now, the Association works to preserve and share the history of Treasure Island, and eventually reestablish the Museum in Building One, Treasure Island

NEW: The Fourth Annual Treasure Island History Day will be held Saturday, February 27th, 2010 from 11 am to 3 pm.  More details here.

NEW: An exhibit of photographs of the Golden Gate International Exhibition is now on display in our new Exhibit Room, Room 111 in the Building One lobby.  The photographs, on loan from the Treasure Island Development Authority, were shown last fall at the Presidio.  The Exhibit Room is open weekdays from 8:30 am to 5 pm.

Historical Exhibit in Building One:

Portal to the Pacific in War and Peace examines the island's rich history in a series of hanging panels featuring many previously unpublished color photographs.  The exhibit is on display in the Building One lobby gallery 

Exhibit Hours: The lobby is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 5 pm.  Unfortunately the building is closed on weekends*.  The exhibit is best viewed during daylight hours.  Take the Treasure Island exit from the Bay Bridge and follow the road around.
