Join the San Francisco Arts Commission and the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) for the opening reception of Moving San Francisco: Views from the SFMTA Photo Archive 1903 - Now, an exhibition that celebrates the history of Muni and the evolution of our city with a collection of images from the SFMTA Photo Archive.
The SFMTA Photography Department traces its origins back over 120 years. Made up of more than 200,000 images, it is one of the largest collections of photos focused on transportation in the City. Moving San Francisco pulls just a fraction of these photos to transport you from familiar scenes to a city unimaginable today. From the close of the Victorian Era into the 21st Century, see the people, places, and things that move in our city.
As part of the opening festivities, artist collective MUNI Raised Me will have their decommissioned Muni bus turned art installation parked in front of City Hall for attendees to visit and have their photos taken among the maximalist interior inspired by San Francisco lore and legend.
Additionally, arrive early to get a free poster from the archive and enter a raffle to win a SFMTA goodie bag!
Catering by The M-Stop Deli, a Muni inspired deli based in SF's Oceanview neighborhood,. Custom cupcakes by BiRite.
Moving San Francisco will be on view on the Ground Floor and North Light Court at SF City Hall through June 18, 2026.
