Free films Saturday afternoons at the de Young Museum
The de Young is showing two movies this month as a tie-in with its show on the fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent. The movies - The Pink Panther and the French film Vivre pour vivre — both feature costumes designed by St. Laurent.
What and when
———————————
The Pink Panther is the famous 1963 movie starring Peter Sellers as the bumbling Inspector Clouseau. Rember the music? Da dum … da dum … da dum da dum da dum da dum, da dum dumdumdumdumdumdum.
It will be showing on Saturday, December 20, from 2:00 to 4:00 in the Koret Auditorium downstairs. Free, with no museum admission required.
———————————
Vivre por vivre is a 1967 French film starring Yves Montand and Candice Bergen and directed by Claude Lelouch, best known as the director of A Man and a Woman.
It will be showing Saturday, December 27 at 2:00 - 4:00, also in the Koret Auditorium.
———————————
Really free? Yes, the movies are absolutely free. But if you also want to see the museum’s related exhibited on St. Laurent, that has an admission fee.
There are other free things that you can always do at the de Young. You can go up in the tower, and have a 360 degree view of the Bay Area — highly recommended! You can go into the sculpture garden. The cafe and the gift shop also don’t require a museum entrance fee. In fact, the only thing in the museum that requires an entrance fee is admission to the art galleries themselves. The museum was designed to be open in that way in order to function as an extension of the surrounding park.
