The paper summarizes results of a study of the consequences of a repeat of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, illustrating the risk faced in regions of high seismicity, such as coastal areas of California. The paper discusses limitations of conventional construction and the advantages of isolation and damping technologies, and it describes two projects that have utilized these technologies to mitigate earthquake risk to museums located in San Francisco, California – seismic isolation retrofit of the historical building that is home to San Francisco Asian Art Museum and seismic isolation of the new de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park.
