Ken Kesey's original 1939 school bus, named "Furthur," has embarked on a new journey to San Francisco where it is currently on display. In 1964, writer Ken Kesey and his band of "Merry Pranksters" famously rode the bus across the country on a trek fueled by music, alcohol, and LSD.

The vehicle became a defining icon of the burgeoning counterculture movement and a symbol of liberation. However, in the decades following its historic cross-country journey, the bus fell into a severely rusted state.

The current exhibition in San Francisco marks a step in a journey aimed at restoring the historic counterculture artifact to its former glory.
