Randall Museum in San Francisco


I didn't even know the Randall Museum existed until yesterday. This splendid Science Museum recently opened up to the public. Above is a basket on display in a weaving/basketry exhibit.



The building uses local materials. Above is a windmill, below native plants in beds.




These aluminum panels measure the wind.



There are a number of animals on display here, including this Swain's Hawk. Frances was intrigued.



We were there for a meeting of the Mycological Society of San Francisco. Here are some mushrooms harvested in the wild.


Above are samples of wool dyed using mushrooms. Mushroom dying expert Alissa Allen gave a talk on the topic.



The Randall Museum is located near the summit of Corona Heights Park, thus it affords some spectacular views.
