Founded in 1895 in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, the de Young Museum has been an integral part of the cultural fabric of the city and a cherished destination for millions of residents and visitors to the region for over 100 years.
On October 15, 2005, the de Young Museum re-opened in a state-of-the-art new facility that integrates art, architecture and the natural landscape in one multi-faceted destination that will inspire audiences from around the world. Designed by the renowned Swiss architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron and Fong & Chan Architects in San Francisco, the new de Young provided San Francisco with a landmark art museum to showcase the museum’s priceless collections of American art from the 17th through the 20th centuries, and art of the native Americas, Africa, and the Pacific.

Only go to the cafe if it's your only choice! The cafe is pricey. A small sandwich is about $10! The cafe is mostly cafeteria style where there is already pre-made sandwiches, salads, fruit mix, etc. that you can choose from and bring it to the cashier.
The food is fresh and good, but the price is not worth it. If you have time walk out to the real restaurants and you can get better food for an even better price.

The surreal beauty of the building almost exceeds some of the art inside. Definitely visit the top of the tower (free) for a gorgeous panoramic of San Francisco, and the outside cafe on a nice sunny day. Enjoy a relaxing walk in the surrounding park after your visit.
