Gentleman On The Go: The de Young Museum

I had the pleasure of spending a delightful afternoon at the Golden Gate Park,  touring the de Young museum which currently has two exhibits of giants in art and fashion, Pablo Picasso and Cristobal Balenciaga.  I remembered to take my camera so here are a few fun images from the day.

The museum itself, designed by Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron is both monolithic and intimate.  Located in the music concourse of the park, the juxtaposition of the de Young against the classically designed Spreckels Temple of Music made for a memorable afternoon of people watching.

Don't miss these shows.  The Balenciaga exhibit was particularly inspiring for all of its attention to detail. 

For you fashion junkies, be sure to check out the site for the new Balenciaga museum located in Balenciaga's home town of Getaria, Spain.  http://www.cristobalbalenciagamuseoa.com/ The museum opened this month. 

Bye for now.
