THE TREASURE ISLAND MUSEUM Treasure Island, San Francisco Bay

Once upon a time, in San Francisco Bay, there lived a marvelous museum which preserved Bay Area "treasures" from its 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 within our Mission Statement to:

• Preserve the collection in the Bay Area
• Conserve our human resources: knowledge of the collection and the island, and experience in museum operation
• Eventually reestablish the Museum in Building One, Treasure Island

Frequently asked questions:

What was the museum like?

Why did it close?

Will it reopen?  And how can you help?

Who else cares?  See the Memory Book.
