Bob Mizer Museum and Photographic Archives

The Museum of Advertising is a one-of-a-kind space dedicated to the art, craft, and cultural impact of advertising. Housed inside our working offices, the museum brings together original artifacts, memorabilia, and iconic pieces from landmark campaigns by some of the world's most celebrated brands — including a genuine Cannes Lions trophy, one of the industry's highest honors. Part gallery, part living archive, it's a place to walk through the ideas and creativity that shaped modern advertising. Visitors are welcome to explore the collection and see the stories behind the campaigns that defined generations.

The museum showcases the rich history of French Speaking immigrants and their influence on the San Franciscan and Californian community through a wide range of exhibits, educational programs, and events. We also host temporary modern art exhibit (paintings, pictures, ... ).

*July 2026 Update: museum temporarily closed, but public programs continue! Visit our website for more info!* Community history museum of the Tenderloin neighborhood. All are welcome! Visitors will find a permanent exhibit on the TL's history, a rotating gallery featuring resident artwork and/or archival deep dives, Thursday evening public programs, Saturday afternoon walking tours, + a small bookstore & gift shop.
