Arriving early for a flight or spending a long layover at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) can be a treat because SFO is one of the few US airports with an official museum program.

At any one time, the airport’s SFO Museum hosts up to a dozen temporary exhibitions and keeps an eye on a vast public art collection.

Occasionally, the SFO Museum staff offers public tours of its exhibitions.

And starting April 8, the museum is offering free weekly public tours of its exhibition, “Rosie the Riveter: Womanpower in Wartime”, which is located post-security in Harvey Milk Terminal 1.

The exhibition tells the story of Rosie the Riveter and the great accomplishments made by women in the World War II workforce.

The exhibit features a treasure-trove of related objects, including uniforms, welding masks, ID badges, images, and period music.

Tours begin April 8, 2025, and run every Tuesday until the exhibition closes on May 11, 2025.
