Uncover the History
The Beat Generation emerged in the 1950s as a countercultural movement that rebelled against traditional norms and challenged the status quo. Led by influential figures such as Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and William S. Burroughs, the Beats found their voice through literature, poetry, and innovative forms of self-expression.
With The Beat Museum on Wheels II, La Historia Society takes you on an intimate exploration of the Beat Generation's history. Immerse yourself in the beats' unique perspectives on social issues, politics, spirituality, and the pursuit of artistic freedom. From their legendary gatherings in San Francisco's North Beach to their impact on the literary world, our exhibition provides a comprehensive overview of the movement's evolution.
Engage with Literature and Art
At the heart of the Beat Generation lies a rich tapestry of literature and art that continues to captivate audiences today. The Beat Museum on Wheels II showcases an extensive collection of iconic works, including original manuscripts, rare first editions, and multimedia presentations.

Our exhibition brings these literary masterpieces to life, allowing you to engage directly with the minds behind them.
