about the museum
Founded in 1895 in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, the de Young Museum has been an integral part of the cultural fabric of the city and a cherished destination for millions of residents and visitors for over 100 years. In 2005, the de Young re-opened in a new state-of-the-art facility designed by Herzog & de Meuron that integrates art, architecture, and the natural landscape. The museum's priceless collections include American art from the 17th through 21st centuries, international contemporary art, textiles and costumes, and art from the Americas, the Pacific, and Africa.
