After visiting the Conservatory of Flowers, Aphra and I strolled over to the De Young Museum for lunch. The De Young is newly renovated and recently re-opened. It is clad in cover which is dimpled and cutout to resemble a tree canopy. The copper is going to patina to a green but from this shot it is not there yet. Right now, I admire the concept but it does look a little like a battle ship. If you are a photographer bringing your camera to the museum, do not bring your photo backpack. You are allowed to enter the museum but must carry down at your side (making it difficult to hold the bag and shoot the camera).
