View north across Music Concourse to Memorial Museum. Originally constructed as the Fine Arts Building for 1894 Midwinter Fair, it was renamed Memorial Museum in 1895 and eventually became part of de Young Museum. Man poses, reclining on grass circle in center of Concourse. Building at left was originally the Royal Bavarian Pavilion at the 1894 Fair. It was converted into an annex to the Memorial Museum. Together with the nearby Japanese Village (today's Tea Garden) these were the only buildings not demolished after the fair.
