Genial deconstruction of de Young Museum With new building in the planning stage, artists take insiders' look at the institution
1999
Overview
Locally, in just a dozen years, we can look to the total reinvention of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the merger of the collections of the de Young Museum and the Palace of the Legion of Honor - and the renovation and expansion of the latter - and the construction of new museum buildings at Stanford University and in San Jose. The process continues unabated. Irreparably damaged by the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989, the M.H. de Young Memorial Museum in Golden Gate Park, after a number of setbacks, is on the way to being replaced by a new, stylish state-of-the-art facility designed by Swiss architectural hotshots Herzog & de Meuron. The new de Young will not just be a new building, however. Under the leadership of Fine Arts Museums director Harry S. Parker III and chief curator Steven A. Nash, and with the often painful input of San Francisco's vocal citizenry, the de Young is being reconceived from the ground up.
