Photos | San Francisco’s de Young Museum features exhibit on photographer Irving Penn
The de Young in Golden Gate Park together with the Legion of Honor in Lincoln Park make up the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, the largest public arts institution in the city and one of the largest art museums in the United States.
The de Young Museum opened in 1895 and is home to American art from the 17th century through today, textile arts and costumes, African art, Oceanic art, arts of the Americas and international contemporary art. In 1989 the Loma Prieta earthquake, which had its epicenter in Santa Cruz County, caused significant structural damage to the de Young and the museum’s board of trustees instituted a project that braced the museum as a temporary measure until a long-term solution could be implemented. In December 2000, the de Young closed to the public for a complete rebuild.
Historic elements from the former de Young, such as the sphinxes, the original palm trees and the Pool of Enchantment were retained or reconstructed, and the new museum opened on Oct. 15, 2005.
Current exhibits at the museum include a photographic retrospective of iconic fashion photographer Irving Penn, which runs through July 21, and Fashioning San Francisco: A Century of Style, which runs through Aug. 11. Go to famsf.org for information.

“Pretty much just stuck here until we figure out what’s next,” he said. “Don’t know how long it’s going to be, it’s been at least a couple of hours that we have been waiting. We will see what’s next, I don’t know. Yeah, I’m stuck for a while.”
