The design of the new de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park embraces both art and nature. The landscape is brought into the building through a deep, penetrating exterior, the landscape court, while artwork is brought outside of the building in the sculpture garden. The interweaving of visitor, art, and landscape is reinforced on the ground level through ample opportunity to enter the museum and interact with the collection, and through the tower, a reference point linking Golden Gate Park with the San Francisco community beyond.
