"The M.H. de Young Museum (commonly called de Young Museum) is a fine arts museum located in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. It is named for early San Francisco newspaperman M. H. de Young.
The courtyard of the de Young features a sculptural installation by Andy Goldsworthy named Drawn Stone.
The de Young also exhibits American decorative pieces, textiles, and paintings from the Rockefeller Collection of American Art. It is home to the annual floral exhibition Bouquets to Art.
