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

Updating the SFO Museum Wayfinding Service - Past exhibitions for galleries along a route
SFO Museum has been producing exhibitions since 1980 and if people sometimes have trouble wrapping their heads around what’s on display today it’s easy to imagine that most people have no idea what we’ve done in the past (and that we’ve been doing it for over 40 years). By including past exhibitions in wayfinding routes and publications we’re hoping to show people not only all the cool and interesting stuff we’ve displayed over the years but also the breadth and velocity of that work to help reenforce the idea that “the airport is the museum”.

Updating the SFO Museum Wayfinding Service - Publications
Custom publications are a first attempt at designing and producing artifacts which can be thought to “follow a visitor out of the building” (or the museum (which also happens to be the airport)). Think of them as training wheels towards acheiving that goal. We believe that the objects and public art works on display at SFO Museum and SFO are worth seeing in person but that doesn’t, and shouldn’t, preclude the ability to enjoy these things when you are not at SFO.

Updating the SFO Museum Wayfinding Service - Galleries, Public Art, Flights and Barcodes
Not enough museums follow their visitors “out of the building” or offer them the means to continue to think about what they’ve seen after the fact. This remains the great untapped opportunity for all museums but especially a museum in an airport since, in many ways, “leaving the building” is what an airport is all about.
