M.H. de Young Memorial Museum

  Introduction       The museum first opened in 1919 to display artifacts from the California Midwinter International Exposition. Over the following decades, it amassed a vast collection of artistic treasures from around the world. The museum’s greatest appeal lies in its galleries dedicated to American art. These galleries feature works ranging from the colonial period to the contemporary era. The exhibits are not only socially significant but also aesthetically valuable. Portraits of notable figures adorn the furniture in the exhibition rooms, while landscape paintings convey the artists’ romantic vision of the scenery. Decorative arts, whether in the simple Shaker style or the Arts and Crafts style, express a satisfying sense of beauty.  Transportation  Phone: 1-415-379-8801       Admission/Opening Hours   Opening hours: Saturday–Sunday 09:30–17:00, the first Saturday of each month 10:00–20:40 (free admission).
