We went to this little museum in San Fran on the Beatniks.
It was quite weird but I enjoyed it all the same.
Allen Ginsberg
I liked the Momo paintings, I had never seen his work before and they reminded of Basquiat who is one of my favs.
We went into this funny little room with old school cinema chairs and watched an interesting film about the life of Jack Kerouac.
[The picture is not too good as it was v. dark in there!]
There was lots of Kerouac
Memorabilia my fav would have
to be this bobble head... too cute.
My favourite photo in the museum
of him was this one where he is with
Ginsberg... the were Beatnik buds.
Other cool stuff I saw were these
comics based on LSD trips...
And this door sign which said;
Emergency Exit Alarm will HOWL
referring to Allen Ginsberg famous poem from the time.
Definitely worth a trip if you are ever in
San Fran as a change of scenery and an
informative place which doesn't take itself too seriously.
