		The new De Young Museum in Golden Gate Park is a bold new addition to a park that is slowly reinventing itself.
		The De Young is the new crown jewel of the park, with its copper clad facades and controversial architectural form.
		Inside the museum is an intriguing fractured bluestone entry (by Andy Goldsworthy), and a sculpture garden (with installation from light artist James Terrell) under the large cantilever of the museum that projects to the west.

	IMD 2006 Museums and young people
		International Museum Day is a great occasion to thank young volunteers and young Friends of Museums who have generously contributed their time and effort to the growth and development of museums.
		While museums are open to the public, they are not always accessible to everyone, or might fail to attract their young constituency.
		This experience will educate young professionals as to what a curator’s job entails and to have a glimpse at the museum collection, and, in turn, it will provide curators with the opportunity to talk about their experiences and offer advice and guidance to the participants.

		Founded in 1895 in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, the de Young Museum, damaged by the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, was closed to the public on December 31, 2000.

	De Young Museum Founder's Story - 1916
		During a number of years, while a young man fighting the battle of life, I kept adding to this collection and secured a number of specimens that were extinct, which I thought an very valuable.
		The fans filling a number of cases in the present museum were assembled in the same way, as were also the guns and pistols, which were picked up one by one.
		One of the most interesting departments in the Memorial Museum, one which we may expect to expand greatly, is that devoted to the relics and the pictures of the pioneers of San Francisco and California generally.

	Design Build Network - De Young Museum, San Francisco, CA
		Owned by Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, which also includes the Legion of Honor (a museum to commemorate Californian soldiers who died in World War I), the New De Young museum opened to the public on 15 October 2005 at a total cost of $202 million.
		The outdoor environment of the museum is as important to the project as the interior of the buildings.
		Andy Goldsworthy produced his 'Faultline' sculpture for the museum courtyard, which is a drawing in stone, that will draw visitors into the new museum along a meandering crack running from the roadway in the front through a series of eight cleaved boulders that can be sat on.

		Shocked at their price, he was told that he "didn't understand the museum game." Upon learning that part of what he was being asked to pay for was the years and expertise invested in bringing together the individual elements of the collection, de Young determined he would build his own.
		Walter Heil, director of the de Young from 1933 until his retirement in 1961, was responsible for the decision to focus the de Young's collecting policies and create a comprehensive museum of fine and decorative art.
		The de Young was able to acquire such masterworks as St. Francis Venerating the Crucifix by El Greco and Pieter de Hooch's Interior with Mother and Children as well as choice works by Salomon van Ruysdael, Luca di Tomme, Titian, and an outstanding work by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, The Triumph of Flora.

	De Young Museum - Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco
		Presumably, the birds never made it into San Francisco's de Young Museum, but, as with many provincial museums around the world, the museum was created largely as a repository for art and artifacts collected by the local gentry.
		De Young, whose fortune originated as publisher of the city's newspaper, The San Francisco Chronicle, was an active supporter of international expositions.
		The two museums were united under a single administration in 1970 and a reorganization of the collections rationalized their displays.

	Ken Garcia: One year later, new de Young Museum exceeds expectations - Examiner.com
		As someone who has covered the museum’s plight over the last decade, I think that the most remarkable thing about the new de Young is that it got built at all.
		It’s worth remembering that at one point, the museum’s trustees and former director, Harry Parker III, were working overtime to move the de Young out of the park just to avoid the constant entanglements with the special interest groups that hold such sway over park policy.
		The new museum has not only made the de Young a major architectural draw, it has renewed interest among other major art curators to share or show their collections.

		The region of Nanjing itself is a natural museum of natural history." Elsewhere in South China, he said, the strata of some geological eras are missing, while the whole of northern China lacks the strata from the late Ordovician (488 to 444 million years ago) down.
		What is more important, he said, the museum "provides a platform on which the palaeontologists could communicate with the public." In its first three days, three of the institute's academicians of CAS, all famed palaeontologists or geologists in the world, personally guided the visitors and gave them instructions.
