Fine Arts Museums of San
Francisco
The Fine Arts Museums of San
Francisco (FAMSF) is the city's largest public arts institution.
Founded in 1970, FAMSF is comprised of the Legion of Honor
in Lincoln Park and the de Young Museum in Golden Gate
Park. FAMSF is the city's most successful public/private partnership-a
designated city department whose funding is largely raised privately.
The
Legion
of Honor displays a
collection of 4,000 years of ancient and European art in an exquisite
Beaux-Arts building overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge. Built to
commemorate Californian soldiers who died in World War I, the Legion of
Honor's collections include Rodin's Thinker, which sits in the museum's
Court of Honor, European decorative arts and paintings, and one of the
largest collections of prints and drawings in the country.
Founded in 1895, the de Young Museum has been a
destination for millions of residents and visitors to the region for
over 100 years. In 2005, the de Young Museum re-opened in a
state-of-the-art new facility designed by the renowned Swiss
architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron and Fong & Chan Architects
in San Francisco. The new de Young provided San Francisco with a
landmark art museum to showcase the museum’s priceless
collections of American art from the 17th through the 20th centuries,
and art of the native Americas, Africa, and the Pacific.
