Beat Museum

North Beach

The Beat Museum houses an extensive collection of memorabilia from the Beat Generation. It honors writers like Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and Neal Cassady. The museum appears in Kill Your Darlings (2013) and On the Road (2012), both chronicling Beat lives. It's located just across from City Lights Bookstore, completing a literary pilgrimage route.
