Unfinished History
In 2015, the University of California San Francisco opened its Toland Hall to the public for a rare 2-week opportunity to see the remarkable murals painted by Bernard Zakheim and Phyllis Wrightson in the 1930s. The series of panels depicts a complicated social history of medicine in California. As of June 2020, UCSF is threatening to destroy these murals as part of a plan to tear down Toland Hall and build a large new medical office building on its site.
Inside Toland Hall during the brief period in 2015 when the murals were open to public viewing.
