‘The Pageant in the Pacific’
The Museum of the San Ramon Valley’s next virtual program is set to enlighten viewers on the historical significance of one of the Bay Area’s most prominent remaining landmarks that was established in the 20th century between the two world wars.
“In the 1930s, San Francisco built a brand-new island on San Francisco Bay, as tension grew between the United States and Japan,” museum spokesperson John Keenan wrote in an announcement. “How did the international crisis affect plans for this new island? The ‘Golden Gate International Exposition: A Pageant of the Pacific’ chose ‘Pacific unity’ as its theme, which deeply influenced the fair’s lovely and exotic architecture, its art, programming, choice of participants, and even entertainment.”
Writer and historian Anne Schnoebelen, who is a longtime board member at the Treasure Island Museum advocate for its preservation, will discuss how the island came to be converted to a Navy base that functioned during World War II, and the museum’s origin story.
The virtual discussion is scheduled for Thursday (Dec. 15) at 11:30 a.m. via Zoom. More information and registration are available at museumsrv.org.
