de Young Museum observation tower and collections

The de Young Museum at 50 Hagiwara Tea Garden Drive in Golden Gate Park houses collections of American art from the 17th through the 21st centuries, textile arts, and international contemporary art. The current de Young building, completed in 2005, includes a copper-clad observation tower that provides 360-degree views of the park and city. The museum stages rotating exhibitions and educational programs that attract San Francisco residents and local school groups.
