MUSEUM
OFFLINE MAP GOOGLE MAP
Get the lowdown on California with themed exhibitions highlighting the museum's vast
collection of a million-plus photographs, paintings and ephemera. Recent exhibits have
examined the Golden State's reputation for movies, fresh food and the good life via silent-
movie posters, vintage fruit labels and tourism brochures - and how that mythology com-
pares to reality. (

Pity collectors politely nibbling endive in austere Chelsea galleries - at 49 Geary, open-
ings bring provocative art, outspoken crowds and animal crackers. Four floors of galleries
feature international and local works including classic photography at Fraenkel Gallery
( www.fraenkelgallery.com ) , spirited minimalism at Gregory Lind
( www.gregorylindgallery.com ) and sublime environmental art at Haines Gallery
( www.hainesgallery.com ) . Come weekdays for quieter contemplation. (

8 Gallery Paule Anglim
OFFLINE MAP GOOGLE MAP
Here you'll find marquee names like Tony Oursler, whose video projections of distorted
faces grumble and squeak in the corner. But works by local upstarts threaten to steal the
show, including Ala Ebtekar's paintings of soldiers and storm clouds gathering on ancient
Iranian prayer scriptures, and Bull Miletic's video views of San Francisco from the per-
spective of a flitting butterfly. (
