Pier 24 Photography is a unique museum space in San Francisco that spans over 28,000 square feet, making it one of the largest spaces dedicated to photography globally.
Originally constructed in 1935, Pier 24 was used as a cargo pier before being transformed into a photography exhibition space in 2010.
Unlike many museums, Pier 24 limits the number of visitors at any given time to ensure an intimate and contemplative experience with the artworks.
Pier 24 Photography hosts rotating exhibitions that focus on various themes and artists, often featuring works from the Pilara Foundation's extensive collection.
Admission to Pier 24 Photography is free, but visits must be scheduled in advance due to the limited number of visitors allowed at one time.
The building's design maintains much of its original industrial architecture, providing a raw and open space that complements the photographic exhibitions.
