The story
Pier 24 Photography is a non-profit art museum located on the Port of San Francisco directly under the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge. The organization houses the permanent collection of the Pilara Foundation, which collects, preserves and exhibits photography. It produces exhibitions, publications, and public programs. Pier 24 Photography is the largest exhibition space in the world dedicated solely to photography. Pier 24 photography museum closed in July 2025 with the expiration of their lease with the San Francisco Port. The Pilara Foundation struggled for five years to secure a new lease with the San Francisco Port and failed to do so when the Port wanted to triple the rent. They decided to close, as the money would be of better use to the community and their philanthropic focus would go towards arts, education, and health care research.
