Yes, it is the oddly beautiful M.H. de Young Memorial Museum in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. It was designed by Herzog and de Meuron, the same folks who designed the Beijing Bird's Nest. Free admission on every first Tuesday of the month and admission to the tower is free, from which the view is terrific (and free). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M._H._de_Young_Memorial_Museum http://sfchronicle.us/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/10/09/PKG1JF21O71.DTL http://lh4.ggpht.com/_ZvmNAr0Boss/RkquKaNAKsI/AAAAAAAABBM/44NbWFbVY20/DSC01820.JPG Nov 15 08, 1:08 AM
