From Googlesightseeing.com: "In San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park the new M.H. De Young Museum was completed in October 2005 - replacing the original building that had been damaged in an earthquake. To prevent damage to the new building, it can move almost a metre thanks to a system of sliding plates and fluid dampers. It’s also entirely clad in copper, which will eventually oxidize, taking on a green colour reflective of the surrounding vegetation." (
