de Young Museum
- Art museum
- Regional draw
- San Francisco
The de Young presents art from the Americas, Africa and Oceania, alongside textiles and changing exhibitions, in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park.
Its copper-clad building and Hamon Observation Tower provide a distinctive setting for exploring collections and the surrounding park landscape.
Check current gallery admission, exhibition reservations and opening days before visiting. Tower access and ticketed galleries have different arrangements, so confirm each separately. Use the Hagiwara Tea Garden Drive campus address; Legion of Honor is a separate museum location rather than another entrance to this building.
