Vincent Price takes you on a tour of the old DeYoung

“A museum is not only a place where one can enjoy beauty and art, but it helps man to relate himself to his past. A man who dwells only in the past is a fool and a man who only dwells in the present is but half a man.”

Around 9:40, Rauschenberg!

I spend considerable time explaining that the Asian Art Museum is not the DeYoung: the former’s owned by the city, while the latter is the part of the Fine Arts Museums.  This will confuse people further. 

My favorite part of the DeYoung, outside of the James Turrell? The tawdry history.
