Why you should go…
The de Young is a fine arts museum in Golden Gate Park, founded in 1895 and housed since 2005 in a building by Herzog and de Meuron. The exterior is clad in copper that is expected to oxidize to a greenish tone over time. Inside you find American art from 1670 to the present, textiles and costumes, and art from Africa, Oceania and the Americas. Head up the 144-foot Hamon Observation Tower for 360-degree views over the park, the Pacific Ocean and the bay.
