Saint Francis Wood is not a neighborhood where most visitors to San Francisco will end up, yet the Riddle of the Sphinx Tour found there is incredibly evocative of the city’s spirit of creativity. This guided experience includes playing games and solving riddles in three enchanted gardens, in what may be the most immersive art installation in San Francisco. Described as a journey into the self, this Gregangelo Museum experience is intimate, personal, and uniquely San Francisco.

I honestly can say that I grin in feeling grateful and happy when recalling a visit here. I embarked on this unexpected experience with a dear friend of many decades. We followed the advice of our dear guide Nick, a gifted facilitator, not a traditional museum docent by any means, to experience the surroundings without taking a lot of photos. It brought me back to a childlike curiosity and amazement of being in the present moment. Every niche and cranny on the exterior as well as the interior explodes with limitless creativity. There were a series of riddles to answer as well as thought provoking questions providing introspection and a deepening of a connection between my friend and I. A highlight was a visit to an intimate space where we were invited to write a note to a deceased one. Think of Day of the Dead altars on steroids! We were also treated to a spontaneous performance with drumming and belly dancing transitioning to us all dancing joyfully together. A soulful lunch of salad, pilaf, butternut squash soup, pumpkin pie and lemonade was deliciously offered by artists. This was an unique engaging experience to be with an open mind and heart to experience wonder and delight!

It was such a joy to meet you and your charismatic friend during the experience. You have an unusually bright and kind presence as reflected in your words here. I definitely hope to cross paths with you again, whether at one of our upcoming shows/ experiences or just in the streets of San Francisco. So glad that you enjoyed. Keep on dancing …. Grateful

It was amazing. An interactive museum is hard to explain. When we left we felt as if we had just left therapy. It was soul searching.

We can ever explain it either! But It was an absolute joy to meet you and your vibrant friends. Hope you come back to one of our more theatrical seasonal experiences running through the end of the year.

So grateful for the incredible tour Marcelo gave us yesterday at Gregangelo art museum. My husband had a wonderful birthday there and beyond the abundance of magnificent art, what truly stood out was the unforgettable bonding experience Marcelo created for us as a couple. The way he weaved ridles with art to engage us in meaningful conversations left a lasting impression on both of us. We came expecting to admire the constellations, but we left with a deeper appreciation for our relationship. It was a 1-1.5 hr personal journey. Much beyond any museum would give you.

So glad that you enjoyed your riddle of the sphinx journey and that it brought you and your partner closer together. Marcelo also spoke very highly of you both.

This was an inner journey in an art-rich environment. Took my younger brother, 89-year-old mother, and godmother of both my children based on the rave recommendations of my adult daughter. Nick is your inner and outer guide - skilled at deepening conversations, such that you savor your own and other's humanity, while appreciating the rich art around you. Nick is an extraordinary human - and artist. We were so very fortunate to have him!
