Founded in 1895, the de Young Museum features modern and contemporary American art, photography, and textiles, African art, as well as art from the Americas. The museum building itself was designed by the Swiss architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron and Fong & Chan Architects in San Francisco.
The creative and unique architecture molds seamlessly into Golden Gate Park’s aesthetic, where it’s located at 50 Hagiwara Tea Garden Drive.
