San Francisco Korean American Museum

A City of Korean-American History

Map of Korean-American Historical SItes


The San Francisco Korean American Museum has been involved in the work of uncovering, recording, and preserving the traces of our ancestor's life all across California. With the belief that an individual memory makes a story but collective memories make history, we are working to make our dream of SFKAHM come true. Korean immigration to the U.S. began over 120 years ago. Our ancestors planted their seeds in the new land, and the roots grew and the branches grew out of them. Enough time has passed and now we see their efforts come into fruition. Please take time to explore our publication on the historical sites in San Francisco's rich Korean-American history.

The Quotidian Life

Examining the intricacies of daily Korean culture...


We asked local artists for their support by requesting donations of their works, particularly those which they felt related to their immigrant experiences or were representative of the theme. To our delight, most of the artists we contacted were enthusiastic about our cause and donated their paintings, prints, collages, and antiques.

This core collection comprises the foundation of the Korean Art and Life. These works of art represent Korean American society from the many perspectives of young, budding artists to the highly accomplished. SFKAHM owes much to these artists who have made its existence possible. We hope you can explore these publications and discover our unique cultural artworks.

Our 10th Anniversary

Celebrating Our Accomplishments and Goals...


The San Francisco Korean American History Museum booklet presents the museum's first decade as a long-term effort to recover, preserve, and teach Korean-American history across California. We hope to highlight stories of early immigration, Korean independence activism in the United States, and community sites that could otherwise disappear from public memory. 


This publication highlights the countless volunteers, supporters, community members, and especially the youth organization Dosan, which have become a vital village in connecting Korean-American hsitory to the legacy of Ahn Chang-ho and various activists. We hope this booklet will serve as an anniversary record and an appeal: preserve the past through research, site protection, and youth leadership.
