Go on a guided tour of the Internet Archive's headquarters housed in an old Christian Science church with lots of tech-related exhibits that showcase their work preserving history and culture.
The Internet Archive building, originally built for the Fourth Church of Christ, Scientist, is a historic building located at 300 Funston Avenue, corner of Clement Street, in the Richmond District of San Francisco, California. Built in 1923, it was designed by noted San Francisco architect Carl Werner in the Classical Revival style with Corinthian columns. The approximately 23,000 square feet (2,100 m2) building is now the headquarters of the Internet Archive.
Worth visiting because of the stupendous views it offers over downtown San Francisco, Golden Gate Park, the Pacific Ocean, Marin headlands, and across to the Sutro Tower.
Stair risers comprise a colorful mosaic added during a 2005 renovation of the stairs. Climb to the top then go left or right to find a way into Grand View Park.
Home to many concerts and performances during the summer months which are free to the public, including the Stern Grove Festival.
A national memorial to AIDS victims.
A beautiful 1930s building, the Beach Chalet is open for lunch, drinks, or dinner overlooking Ocean Beach and its brave surfers. Inside the Park Chalet are some exhibits with artifacts related to the history of the Golden Gate Park and San Francisco.
An unusual attraction is the herd of buffalo which have been here for over a century after being presented as a gift from the government of Texas.
