Ken Kesey’s psychedelic Furthur bus has returned to San Francisco after decades away, where it will take centre stage in a new Grateful Dead exhibition.

Kesey and his Merry Band of Pranksters used the bus during their 1964 cross-country journey, a trip associated with the spread of the emerging psychedelic counterculture.

The exhibition will also feature Jerry Garcia’s BMW and launch an effort to restore the Furthur bus, which has fallen into disrepair.
