San Francisco’s premier art museum De Young , located in the glorious Golden Gate Park, is showing a “Cult of the Machine” exhibit which is simple, small, and enjoyable. The exhibit focuses on what appears to be period Industrial Art Deco style meets San Francisco Tech Industry. A few pieces even focused on the Golden Gate Bridge, our beloved swaying icon of the area. I found the exhibit to be very modern despite much of it being 100 years old. The museum is a perfect respite from the heat and only feat away from my favorite San Francisco attractions; the Japanese Tea Gardens and the Botanical Gardens. One could easily spend the entire day at the De Young even while the nature just steps outside beckon.
