Thanks to everyone for a fantastic 7th season of Friday Nights at the de Young.  Season 8 of Friday Nights are back on March 30, 2012.  Mark your calendars!  We have a fantastic line-up of artists, performances, lectures, films, activities, cocktails, and more fun scheduled for all to enjoy.

While you wait for Friday Nights to return, travel to the radical and beautiful world of Oscar Wilde with the special exhibition The Cult of Beauty: The Victorian Avant-Garde, 1860–1900 at the Legion of Honor beginning February 18, 2012; enjoy our chamber music series on the weekends at the Legion; visit the Artist Studio at the de Young; and more. Stay up to date with new programs at both museums online through our online calendar and our Facebook page.
