Art at SFO

SFO is committed to providing its guests with world-class facilities and customer service. To help meet this goal, SFO incorporates art throughout the terminals, fostering an environment that is both entertaining and educational.

The works of art at SFO are made possible through two distinct programs: SFO Museum and the San Francisco Arts Commission. SFO Museum, a division of SFO, presents a series of rotating exhibitions displayed in the terminal galleries, as well as the San Francisco Airport Commission Aviation Library and Louis A. Turpen Aviation Museum located in the International Terminal. The San Francisco Arts Commission, an agency of the City and County of San Francisco, curates the collection of permanent art displayed throughout the airport.

Day Trips

For passengers with a layover of four hours or more who wish to explore the City of San Francisco and the San Francisco Bay Area via public transit, Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART)  takes visitors from SFO’s International Terminal nearly to the doorstep of several top attractions in San Francisco. A BART ride to downtown San Francisco’s Union Square shopping district takes about 30 minutes (Powell Street Station).

Services and amenities

SFO offers services that go far beyond the ordinary. Special efforts are made to ensure that your time at the airport is time well spent. Everything a passenger needs for travel is here, like currency exchange offices, banking services, and free Wi-Fi access. In addition, conveniently located at the entrance to the Airport, the Grand Hyatt at SFO hotel can be easily accessed from all terminals by the Air Train, SFO’s free people mover, or by the road.
