A Guide to Visiting the de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco

Nestled in Golden Gate Park, the de Young Museum is a San Francisco landmark that has delighted visitors for over 125 years. Showcasing art from the Americas, Africa, and Oceania, its extensive collections span painting, sculpture, textiles, photography, and video from the 17th century to today. Highlights include works by Ed Ruscha, Diego Rivera, Louise Nevelson, and Bay Area icons Wayne Thiebaud and Ruth Asawa. The museum’s dimpled copper exterior harmonizes with the surrounding park, and Andy Goldsworthy’s "Drawn Stone" greets visitors as a contemplative prelude to the artistic journey within.

Beyond its galleries, the de Young offers architectural and scenic treasures. The Hamon Observation Tower provides sweeping views of Golden Gate Park and the San Francisco skyline, while the Barbro Osher Sculpture Garden invites moments of reflection. Visitors can enjoy the full-service café or browse the two-story museum store for art-inspired mementos. Planning ahead is recommended to explore permanent collections and special exhibits, ensuring a memorable experience at this hub of art, culture, and innovation.
