de young musuem - san francisco
so first thing to say...it is quite massive museum and you could easily spend there couple of weeks ;) eventhou the buliding is quite massive it doesn't really stand out from the landscape and you'll feel bit surprise when finally finding next to it after having a walk in the golden gate park. the inside exhibit space with wood flooring and finishing gives really nice warm atmosphere. walking from room to room you still can be connected with the surroundings of the building due to the huge windows, through which you can adore vivid california's nature. basically the combination of natural material of natural materials, such as copper, wood, stone, stone, and glass was a great choice for that design created by herzog and de meuron, what allows the building to be a part of the land it occupies.
