de Young Museum

Museum

de Young Museum (museum, run by the Fine Arts Museums): $23.6M budgeted for its department in FY2025, 206 employees on the payroll, 8 city documents at the Internet Archive, every figure linked to its source. The de Young's civic record centers on rebuilding the museum in Golden Gate Park. A 2000 draft environmental impact report and 2001 revisions cover the project to demolish and reconstruct the M.H. de Young Memorial Museum and its Education Tower. A 1997 site-selection study weighs a Golden Gate Park versus a downtown location, and a 1997 analysis studies the museum's visitorship and fiscal benefit. Fine Arts Museums board minutes from 2000 and 2004 track the "My de Young" fundraising campaign and resolutions naming donor galleries, while a 1970–71 annual report records a van Gogh exhibition at the de Young seen by over 400,000 people. The museum is operated by the Fine Arts Museums, whose FY2025 budget line totaled about $24M. Source: SF Controller open data and the Internet Archive.

What public money did here

No city spending is recorded against this place by name. San Francisco publishes contracts, bond items and vendor payments at project level, and none of them names this site — so there is no figure to show, rather than a figure of zero.

Run by the Fine Arts Museums, whose whole-department budget is $23.6M across 206 staff (FY2025) — citywide, not this place’s own. The City does not publish a running cost per building.
