*** About de Young Museum: Located in San Francisco's beautiful Golden Gate Park, the de Young Museum is a fine arts museum named after early San Francisco newspaperman M. H. de Young. Established in 1895, the museum has been an integral part of the city's cultural fabric for over a century. Its collections encompass a variety of American art from the 17th through the 21st centuries, along with indigenous works from the Americas, Africa, and Oceania. The building, redesigned in 2005 by the architectural firm Herzog & de Meuron, is as much a work of art as the treasures it houses inside, featuring a striking copper facade that mimics the natural surroundings and weathers over time to blend even more with its park setting.
