Updating the SFO Museum Wayfinding Service - Past Galleries (and Exhibitions) Along a Route

This is a blog post by aaron cope that was published on September 12, 2023 . It was tagged wayfinding.

This is a very short post to mention that the SFO Museum Wayfinding system has been updated to display past galleries along a route as well as all the past exhibitions in those past galleries, notably the “3C North Connector” gallery in Boarding Area F which many people believe is the sum total of the museum but which closed last year.

Not all past exhibitions in past galleries displayed along a route in the SFO Museum Wayfinding system have studio-quality photographs of their objects but for many of those exhibitions we have “installation” photos and those will be integrated in to the Wayfinding system shortly. In the meantime here is a blog post titled “People Looking at Art at SFO (1982 - 2019)” of awesome installation photos taken over the years.

Finally here is the link to a talk I recently did about the SFO Museum Wayfinding system and why I think it and especially things like past galleries and exhibitions are important for museums:
