The M.H. de Young
Memorial Museum will
close the doors to its
earthquake-damaged

on December 31, 2000 to
make way for a new
museum that will open in
2005. A series of special
events planned for the
week of December 26-31 will allow the public to bid
farewell to the old facility and celebrate the de Young and
its role in the community.
During the final week the
admission fee to the de Young will be waived, and visitors
will be allowed to take flash photographs. Programs will
include photo opportunities for the public and family,
childrens activities, a 24-hour museum marathon, a
midnight tour, and closing ceremonies. Museum visitors
will also be able to view the special exhibitions The de
Young Museum: A Work in Progress, which uses historic
photographs to chronicle the history of the de Young
Museum and its buildings, and A New de Young in
Golden Gate Park: Concept Plan by Herzog and de
Meuron, which show plans and renderings of the New
de Young by architects Herzog & de Meuron and
landscape designer Walter Hood.
