The health and safety of our visitors and staff members remains a top priority for the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco (the “Museums”). Adhering to the shelter-in-place order in effect in the San Francisco Bay Area, the de Young and Legion of Honor museums are currently closed to the public, and the Museums announce adjustments to our exhibition and events schedules as follows:

• New: The de Young Open, an open-invitation exhibition on the occasion of the de Young’s 125th anniversary showed works by Bay Area artists in celebration and support of the local arts community. The exhibition was featured in the Herbst special exhibition galleries at the de Young in fall 2020.
• Reopening: Frida Kahlo: Appearances Can Be Deceiving will be back on view to visitors as soon as the de Young reopens to the public.
• Reopening: Uncanny Valley: Being Human in the Age of AI will be back on view to visitors as soon as the de Young reopens to the public.

As news around COVID-19 changes daily, we will share more info on the reopening of the Museums, and our exhibitions, as it is confirmed. Up-to-date information is always available here.

Though our buildings remain closed, we continue to share our collections and exhibitions digitally here. Visitors are also welcome to roam our galleries virtually with Google Arts & Culture or view behind-the-scenes material regarding our exhibitions and collections on our YouTube channel, blog, Facebook, and Instagram. Families can support curiosity and discovery of art at home with these exclusive museum activities, focusing on essential skills such as observation, wonder, analysis, and reflection.

As we continue to create and make new digital content available, please look to these channels as well as announcements via our email newsletters.

We look forward to welcoming audiences back to the de Young and Legion of Honor museums soon.
