I recommend getting a Fan Pass which will allow you to come back to the museum during the run of the exhibit!
Got to see a short preview of the de Young Art of Manga exhibit! It’ll open fully on Sep 27 with a cosplay day and a talk with Yamazaki Mari (Thermae Romae). There’s so much to see that I need go at least three more times.
Great to see you too!
