The Tenderloin Museum celebrates the rich history of one of San Francisco's most misunderstood neighborhood.? TLM opened in 2015 with the intersecting goals of promoting a deeper understanding of the history of the Tenderloin neighborhood, re-imagining our collective future, and supporting our current, vibrant community. To accomplish these goals, the museum enacts a three-pronged approach: a critically-acclaimed permanent history exhibition, community-driven programs and walking tours, and economic support through tourism and local partnerships and hiring practices.
