SFO Museum launches free weekly tours for the Rosie the Riveter exhibit, celebrating women’s resilience and contributions during World War II.
San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is inviting travelers and history enthusiasts to explore a powerful chapter of American history through its latest exhibition, Rosie the Riveter: Womanpower in Wartime. Hosted by the SFO Museum—the only accredited museum operating within an airport—this compelling showcase highlights the critical role women played in the workforce during World War II.
Now offering complimentary guided tours starting April 8, 2025, the exhibition will run through May 11, 2025, and is located post-security at Harvey Milk Terminal 1. Visitors will have the rare opportunity to engage with a collection of artifacts that bring the era to life, including authentic uniforms, welding masks, identification badges, historic photographs, and a curated selection of period music.
A Tribute to Women’s Wartime Efforts
The exhibit tells the inspiring story of Rosie the Riveter, an enduring symbol of female empowerment, resilience, and industrial contributions. During the 1940s, as men enlisted in the military, millions of women stepped into manufacturing, engineering, and aviation roles, proving their capability in fields once dominated by men. This exhibition celebrates their remarkable achievements, offering a deeper look into their lives and experiences.
