Exploring the museum at your leisure, marvel at important American paintings, sculptures and decorative objects from the 17th century to the present, as well as fascinating pottery, woodcarvings and other decorative objects from South America, Africa and New Zealand. Recharge at the de Young Café, offering views of the museum’s sculpture garden and menu items tied to the themes of current Special Exhibitions. Browse the intriguing selection of publications, home goods, toys and crafts at the museum’s stores, and don’t miss the views of the Marin Headlands from the 144-foot-tall (44-meter) Hamon Observation Tower. Enhance your de Young Museum experience with the fascinating audio tour, suitable for both adults and children. Or you can choose to upgrade admission to the Special Exhibitions.
