Two San Francisco Museums in One Day
Thursday, March 29, 2012
8:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m.
This San Francisco day trip will include a visit to the de Young and the Legion of Honor:
The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk at the de Young presents a provocative, multimedia exhibition of Jean Paul Gaultier, the bad boy of haute couture. Featuring 120 ensembles created by the designer between the early 1970s and 2010, this exhibition spotlights Gaultier’s collaborations with filmmakers, choreographers and musicians, most notably Madonna.
The Cult of Beauty: The Victorian Avant-Garde, 1860–1900 at the Legion of Honor is the first major exhibition to explore the unconventional creativity of the British Aesthetic Movement. The artworks on view encompass the manifold forms of Victorian material culture: traditional high art of painting, fashionable trends in architecture and interior decoration, handmade and manufactured furnishings for the “artistic,” art photography and the new modes of dress. How fitting that this show’s only American venue is San Francisco—the land of Victorians.
Dinner will be at the Delancey Street Restaurant. For more information, contact Tour Leader Beverly Fitch McCarthy at (209) 463-6957 or linley17@comcast.net. For reservations, contact Administrative Assistant Merylene Marengo at (209) 940-6311 or AdminAssistant@hagginmuseum.org.
