San Francisco is also home to the de Young Museum, which showcases art from the 17th through 21st centuries, and the Cable Car Museum brings visitors into the past with its displays of the huge engines and winding wheels that have pulled the cables for the city’s famous trams, as well as antique cable cars from the 1870s.
