The museum was founded in 1895. New York architecture firm, Edward Larrabee Barnes and Associates, designed a new master plan for the de Young Museum in 1989-1990. (See Edward Larrabee Barnes Architect, [New York: Rizzoli, 1991], p. 252.) David Casey was the Barnes Associate-in-Charge; Barnes and Cavagnero acted as Associate Architects during the master planning process.
An addition was planned in 1928 by Frederick H. Meyer (1872-1961); much of the Moorish/Spanish Renaissance decorative detail supplied by Louis C. Mullgardt (1866-1942) was removed in the 1940s, due to its decay and changing architectural tastes; Herzog and de Meuron completed a $135 million addition; (Some sources put the cost of construction at $180 million.) The competition took place in 1999, project design, 2000-2002, and construction 2002-2004. The new 2005 wing by Herzog-de Meuron was scheduled to open 10/15/2005.
