San Francisco - Standard Oil Building / World of Oil

This museum in the Standard Oil Company of California building will fascinate anybody interested in the story of oil from its discovery to the development of its countless by-products.

The history of oil is depicted to visitors by means of models of the equipment used in the oil-fields and by three dioramas. There is also an 18 minute multi-media show called "Magic of a Refinery" which is put on several times a day. It requires no fewer than 26 projectors.
