Tuesday was my day off. It just so happened to be the first Tuesday of the month, which meant Free Museum Day! This month, I picked The De Young. I was kind of disappointed with The De Young to be honest. It’s not that big, and, at the risk of sounding like an “Elitist East Coast” jackass, I think the collection was a bit paltry. That being said, I did really enjoy the use of interior space. Oftentimes, when we go to a museum, we forget that the arrangement of the objects on display is an art in and of itself. The De Young doesn’t let you forget that, as each gallery opens itself up to be admired not only for the paintings/tapestries/masks etc… on display, but the way in which the objects are being displayed. As I said about the MOMA, kinda meta, but definitely awesome.
The elevator opperator thought this little Italian kid was mine. Not sure how and/or why...
Then, I got a taco from a tacqueria on 9th st. So necessary (even if they did forget the tomatoes).
