Fine Arts In San Francisco

One of the few things that San Francisco has been lacking since I moved here nearly twenty years ago is a great fine arts museum. We did have the deYoung museum, but it was old and in disrepair. No one in their right mind would loan valuable pieces of art to the museum, given its lack of earthquake readiness, and the numerous roof leaks. All that has changed, back in 2000 the museum was closed, then torn down. Five years and millions of dollars later the new deYoung Museum is now open to the public. So if you like art and happen to be in or around Golden Gate park stop in, you won’t be disappointed. It might also be the easiest place in San Francisco to find a parking space (they now have an underground parking structure).
