San Francisco's North Beach in the 50's - A mix of jazz, poetry and art - "The Beach" recreates the atmosphere that prevailed through first-hand accounts from the actual "players" along with photographs and artwork from that vibrant time.

In the 50s there were many innovative and talented artists in San Francisco but few places to exhibit work. Bars in North Beach like Vesuvio and "The Place" were often the only places they could show. So much creative activity was going on in the area that soon other spaces dedicated to showing this unusual art opened. North Beach became the place to be if you wanted to be part of the milieu. It began to change in the early 60s and today North Beach is a very different place. Yet, it still retains an Italian flavor and remnants from its spirited past.
