Pictures from at the De Young Museum in Golden Gate Park

Yesterday, Sunday afternoon, Dave and I went to the De Young Museum in Golden Gate Park.
We went to see the David Hockney: A Bigger Exhibition show that opened last week.
If you live in the Bay Area, I highly recommend seeing this show that runs until January 20, 2014.
I had my camera with me, although photography is not allowed inside the Hockney show.
After viewing the Hockney Show, we walked through the other galleries until the museum closed.
Photographing the museum’s permanent collection is allowed. Here are some of my photos from yesterday.
