SAN FRANCISCO -

The de Young Museum is constructing a new $200-million privately funded museum and educational tower in San Francisco ’s Golden Gate Park . The 293,000-sf facility more than doubles the footprint of the previous museum, which was damaged in the 1989 earthquake. Construction began in July 2002, with completion expected in January 2005. The museum, which will be connected to the new $370-million California Academy of Sciences facility by an 800-space parking garage, will open in early fall 2005.
