One of San Francisco’s best museums and located in Golden Gate Park itself, the De Young is known for its collections, like Art of the Americas and African Art, as well as special exhibitions like the … Read more 2011 Picasso. Originally opened in 1895, the de Young was rebuilt and reopened in 2005, with a new Swiss design by Herzog and de Meuron that retained historic touches like the original palm trees. It’s the fourth most visited North American art museum. Located in Golden Gate Park, de Young houses more than 27,000 works and included an extensuve collection of American art from 17th through 21st centuries. From textiles and costumes to rare paintings.Very insightful and inspiring art collections and there is a wonderful sculpture garden. They are located in a huge national park and easy to get to by public transportation.Always love visiting the city and it’s Art. The de Young Museum is my go to for Art exhibits. They always have something new and interesting. Their restraint makes it twice as amazing then before. That food is seriously good… damnInteresting art collections. Very creative set up. Friendly staffs. I would recommend to join one of the museum’s free tours.What a great day at the museum! We got to see some very unusual African art, awesome glass sculptures and intriguing modern art! Right when we thought we had seen it all, we were directed to the tower where we got to see an awe inspiring 360 view of San Francisco! We’ll be back again soon!Beautiful museum. Great area of golden gate to explore. Free 365 degree view of SF to the right and to the left the rest of the museum. Discounts for students and maybe people who live in SF *not sureThis is a great museum! I love walking around and admiring all the beautiful art!Its a art museum. The place is very huge and beautifull. The exposition maybe can change then take a look before going thereOne of my favorite museums in the city. There are always interesting and changing exhibits. If you’re not up for walking through a museum, the tower is a fun place to take in a panoramic view of the city and it’s free! Beautiful grounds and space! Features eclectic performances and exhibitions. Easy to navigate.Visiting the de Young is a fantastic way to be introduced to American art of all periods. The museum has a diverse collection of pieces since it was founded in 1895, which includes 27,000 works of art, such as sculptures, paintings, works on paper, costumes and textiles. From April through November the de Young organizes a free Friday night event where public is invited to come to the museum and enjoy a performance. There are lectures, artists demonstrations, hands-on activities, and more. Make sure you check out the Hamon tower, where you get a 360 degree view of San Francisco through the glass walls that surround the platform.On Fridays from 5-8:45 pm, the De Young offers “Friday Nights at the De Young.” Events include museum tours, live music, dance and theathre performances, screenings of films, lectures by artists and curators, and demonstrations by artists. It’s a great date spot, too! If you are going to visit the Academy of Science, you might want to also factor in the De Young Museum. It is free on the first Tuesday of every month, otherwise it is only around $10 to get in. I was especially interested in their collection of silk carpets from Turkey since I had just been there and they did not disappoint. Didn’t get a chance to go inside the museum, but had lunch at the cafeteria (delicious, great atmosphere), and then went to Hamon Tower which had a gorgeous view of the city.After 4 years of Bay Area, we finally went to the De Young Museum. It has beautiful architecture and very well located. I will definitely go back for future exhibitions.Gorgeous and diverse collections out for display. My he most memorable was their chihuly exhibit years ago, however they still display some pieces and it is no less beautiful than it was the first time I saw it!Once upon a time there was an elegant, understated and beautiful building on this site- not so now. The new structure is not only unfortunate but has managed to diminish the look of the permanent collections and can lend little to the traveling exhibits but uninspired space. However, the one note worthy item in this unfortunate pile is a viewing tower which can be reached without having to pay the required entrance fee.Art galore. We checked this place out after checking out the California academy of sciences across the way and b/c it was included in out city pass. This is a fairly big art museum with lots of different exhibits to see. Not all the exhibits are my cup of tea, but there def were multiple interesting pieces. I most enjoyed the paintings, the cocoa bean coffin, the silver sculptures, and the crazy realistic oil paintings. They were also showing the Picasso exhibit (you gotta pay xtra for that) when we went, but we skipped it as we had already seen it in Seattle. There’s also an observation indoor level that provides a scenic view of the city and the Golden Gate state park. We went to a Keith Haring exhibition in the de Young Museum which was really good and interesting. Other than that exhibition they present a lot of other interesting modern art works. Very recommended!small museum. the exhibits aren’t consistently great. high price tag for entry.”},{“value”:”One of San Francisco’s best museums and located in Golden Gate Park itself, the De Young is known for its collections, like Art of the Americas and African Art, as well as special exhibitions like the … Read more 2011 Picasso.
