<p>San Francisco is one of America&#8217;s greatest cities. Located on the coast of beautiful northern California San Francisco is the home to the legacy of America&#8217;s western expansion. The city is built from brick and wood and overlooks the spectacular Pacific Ocean from its many hills. You can easily get lost in its architecture and numerous city parks.</p>
<p>San Francisco is also home to some great museums. The city was the epicenter for the American counter-culture scene of the 1960&#8242;s and other major civil rights battles such as gay rights and immigrant rights. It was also a major player in the gold rush and inspired much of the memorable music from the past 60 years. Here are some of the best museums you can find in San Francisco.</p>
<p>1. Alcatraz Island</p>
<p>Alcatraz was one of the most notorious prisons in America before it was shut down permanently in 1963. The prison and island were named National Historic Landmarks in 1984. You can visit the prison and walk the grounds and get a great view of San Francisco. The guided prison tour is a little spooky but it is worth it. See the infamous cells and get a feel for the unique prison experience. Find yourself in one of the greatest landmarks of American culture.</p>
<p>2. The Cartoon Art Museum</p>
<p>This is the only museum in America dedicated to cartoons and comics. The museum opened in 1984 as a testament to the importance of comics and cartoons to American and International art culture. The collection ranges from well known cartoons such as Roger Rabbit and Bugs Bunny to more serious and dramatic art cartoons. Whether you are a fan of Looney Tunes or graphic novels or just want to kill some time the Cartoon Art Museum is a great place to visit.</p>
<p>3. The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art</p>
<p>This museum features some of the best modern art collections in the western United States. It was actually the first modern art museum on the west coast. Here you can find American luminaries and foreign masters right next to each other on the wall. Discover the incredible creativity of 20th Century art in one of the most beautiful buildings in the city. The museum itself is located near the bay and offers great views of the city and the ocean.</p>
<p>4. The Presidio</p>
<p>The Presidio is one of the oldest military installations in the United States. It began as a fortified location in 1776 when the Spanish used it as their military headquarters for the area. It passed hands between the Spanish and the Americans and was finally closed in 1989. That same year it was transferred to the National Park Service. Today you can walk through the area and see decommissioned anti-aircraft guns and neat military bunkers. There is also a beautiful fort built in the area and a great beach for a picnic. This park is located just across the bay from San Francisco.</p>
