Entrenched in the terror of the Zodiac and Zebra killings, San Franciscans endured the tragedy of the Jonestown Massacre and the assassinations of George Moscone and Harvey Milk. Patty Hearst made headlines, someone tried to shoot President Gerald Ford at the St. Francis Hotel, all while Mayor Dianne Feinstein tried to keep the city together. It would be easy, then, for one not to remember that the largest art heist in San Francisco's history also happened in the '70s.

Every Saturday, the de Young offers free general admission to the permanent galleries to Bay Area residents. Please note that admission to any special exhibits is not included nor discounted and will require the full admission price. Saturdays feature engaging art experiences for the entire family, including art-making, gallery guides, and tours with discussion and sketching in the permanent galleries.

The de Young Museum, located in Golden Gate Park, features collections from the 17th to 20th centuries, showcasing art from the Americas, Africa, and Oceania.

Free admission days make the de Young Museum accessible, allowing residents and visitors to enjoy art collections and special experiences without any cost.
