The M.H. de Young Memorial Museum currently under construction in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park is inspiring some hostile talk before the museum even opens its doors. The Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron-designed building has been described as “hideous,” “totally out of place,” and “antiseptic and soulless” by denizens of the city, but John King points out the obvious: the building isn’t done yet, and given the intricate nature of the design, as well as the plan for it to be partially covered in greenery, the amateur critics are passing judgment far too early.
