HOME IS WHERE THE __ART IS
a museum redecoration project for ‘museum pieces: bay area artists consider the de young’
de young museum
1999

Prior to the closing of the original De Young Museum in Golden Gate Park, curator Glen Helfand invited Bay Area artists to reflect upon or “consider” the museum, and museums in general.

MOB considered the logical question, “why are museums so cold, so uninviting and formal?”, and then endeavored to recreate the institution as a warmer, more hospitable, living space. They surveyed visitors, and came up with highly appropriate decorating solutions for a section of the museum.
