About de Young Museum

Admission is free to the public every first Tuesday of the Month!

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 to the region for over 100 years.

On October 15, 2005, the de Young Museum re-opened in a state-of-the-art new facility that integrates art, architecture and the natural landscape in one multi-faceted destination that will inspire audiences from around the world. Designed by the renowned Swiss architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron and Fong & Chan Architects in San Francisco, the new de Young provided San Francisco with a landmark art museum to showcase the museum’s priceless collections of American art from the 17th through the 20th centuries, and art of the native Americas, Africa, and the Pacific.

Gilbert & George

A Gorgeous Retrospective at the de Young

By Annie Wyman (02/26/2008)

" Gilbert & George are two people -- and one artist. Since they met at St. Martin’s School of Art in England in 1967, they’ve rarely produced work as individuals. In fact, they almost never appear alone, choosing instead to present themselves as a single “living sculpture.” In their signature business suits -- celebrating the opening of their exhibition at the de Young on Valentine’s Day, these suits were khaki, shot through with tasteful blue and green threading -- they’ve made a name for themselves as a pair of polite, provocative eccentrics.

Nan Kempner: American Chic

A Glimpse into an Icon’s Closet

By Nirmala Nataraj (06/29/2007)

" Coquettes and style mavens, take note -- 2007 has been a most fitting time for exhibitions that feature clothing. The de Young Museum recently enjoyed a popular exhibition on the legacy of the doyenne of hipness herself, fashion designer Vivienne Westwood. Now, the museum dovetails on the success of the Westwood event with an exhibition celebrating the very impressive wardrobe of another aesthetic arbiter: Nan Kempner. "

Vivienne Westwood: 36 Years in Fashion

Frolicking in the Fertile Fountain of Fabulousness

By Clifton Lemon (04/23/2007)

" So what are you wearing right now? Wait, let me guess: jeans, t- shirt, hoody, sneakers, mostly in dark shades. I know I’m right. That’s what we all wear in this country, the only difference in San Francisco is that everything’s usually in shades of gray or black. For a city that the rest of the country thinks is hip and cool (well, they used to think that at least) our collective fashion sense now seems to be located somewhere between Nihilistic Schlump and Generic Gap. What happened to our flamboyance, joie de vivre, and iconoclastic freedom? Vivienne Westwood wants to help. "
