I loved the old de Young Museum, but I love the new de Young even more..visited the Jean Paul Gaultier exhibition (Mar 24 - Aug 19) recently because of my love of fashion as well as this innovative amazing designer....the displays of his exquisite, provocative designs are mesmerizing and incredibly inspiring "culturally revolutionary". Main museum is free on first Tuesdays... More

i have been all over the world and have seen great museums.....but do not miss the john paul gautier special exhibit going on now but for a limited time....absolutely the most innovative and mine boggling showing I have ever seen...you do not need to be a "fashion" person to appreciate.

What a surprising and imaginative exhibit -- Jean Paul Gaultier. We went to De Young and considered not buying the extra ticket for Gaultier. What a mistake that would have been.

I look forward to times when they have other collections in town.

10$ for the regular exhibit , 20$ for Gaultier. Absolutely worth it. Fantastic talking mannequins, over the top haute couture. Loved all the film clips featuring the costumes Gaultier designed for movies. Many costumes designed for Madonna and other pop stars are on display as well. Took transit got a discount.

I loved this museum more than my husband did primarily because I was in awe of the Jean Paul Gaultier exhibit. Note that the exhibit cost an extra $10.00
