- Digital Programs Hidden in the Walls: The Time Capsule from
San Francisco's Lost Sanctuary On view:Wednesday, January 1,
2003 - Thursday, January 1, 2004 In 2003, the Judah L. Magnes
Museum and the Jewish Museum San Francisco worked together to
create an exhibition around a recently uncovered time capsule
found in an old temple on Bush Street. The Magnes Museum exhibit
highlighted the building's changing role in San Francisco. It
was built in 1895 as a synagogue for Ohabai Shalome, a Reform
congregation. The temple closed in 1934, and the building became
home to an African-American Baptist church, a Zen Buddhist
mission, and now is an assisted-living facility for Japanese-
American seniors.
