The Randall Museum was the inspiration of Josephine D. Randall, San Francisco's first Superintendent of Recreation, a position she held for a quarter of a century, during which time we achieved national recognition as one of the most outstanding services of its kind. A long-term goal was the establishment of a museum for children. In 1937 the "Junior Museum," opened in the city's old jail on Ocean Avenue and in 1947, a $12,000,000 bond was shepherded and issued for recreation capital projects, including a new museum. In 1951, the museum opened in its current facilities on a 16-acre park overlooking San Francisco Bay and was renamed the Josephine D. Randall Junior Museum in honor of its founder. The museum was to be "a place that would foster a love of science, natural history, and the arts."
