Beat museum opens in California
A museum dedicated to literary giants
of the Beat generation has opened in
the San Francisco neighbourhood where
the movement took off 50 years ago.
Manuscripts, letters and first editions
from Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg
are among the items on display.
A rare copy of Ginsberg's poem Howl,
which is said to have ignited the Beat
movement, is also housed in the museum.
The literary style is thought to have
influenced the counterculture which
prevailed in the 1960s.
