Showgirl Magic Museum is the brainchild of Cynthia Yee, president of the Clarion and director of Grant Avenue Follies; dancer, magician and impresario.

​

The museum pays tribute to the vibrant nightclub scene in San Francisco Chinatown during the 1940’s to 70’s and the people who made it happen.

​

Beautiful headdresses, costumes and other memorabilia from that enchanting era are displayed in the underground alcove of the Clarion, giving an extra layer of intrigue to tourists and residents alike.
