However, on October 15, 2005, the museum resumed its activities by adding new African works of art to its collections. 110 years after its first opening, the De Young Museum has become the oldest museum in the world. It is even distinguished from other museums by its unique architecture that integrates art and natural landscape. From the top of its roof, it also has an observatory that offers visitors a panoramic view of San Francisco. ◄
