Introduction For many years, museums as a form of cultural enlightenment and simple entertainment have been regarded as a remnant of the past when people did not have access to the World Web. Only a few cultural phenomena such as the Louvre or the Hermitage were still treated with the appropriate level of respect. However, with the rapid development of modern culture with its infinite references to antiquity, renaissance, and various other cultural epochs, people reconsidered their attitudes towards museums. Hence, the 21st century has become a kind of revitalization for the museum culture. Although the most widespread connotation that comes to humans’ minds when they hear the word “museum” is Europe, other continents are now also major constituents of cultural diffusion all over the world. America and the US, in particular, have become one of the most influential investors in the world culture due to the rapid development of contemporary art and youth impact. California, with cultural centers in Los Angeles and San Francisco, has become the point of interest for many people over the last decades. However, while Los Angeles is more related to modern art, the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco remain dedicated to the artistic representations of the previous centuries. The Fine Arts Museums consist of the de Young museum and the Legion of Honour Museum, where the latter is focused on European art, and the first one deals with American and African artworks. The following virtual guide will concern exhibits from the de Young museum in San Francisco, founded in 1895 in Golden Gate Park. Grant Wood’s “Dinner for Threshers” One of the most outstanding exhibits now available in the de Young museum is a painting of Grant Wood called “Dinner for Threshers.” Although the author is widely recognized due to his “American Gothic,” other artist’s works are, by all means, worth much greater recognition (“Grant Wood Artworks,” 2020). “Dinner for Threshers” dates from 1934, serving as the author’s early childhood reflections (See Figure 1). On the triptych-like painting, the central part depicts the festive dinner farmers usually have at the end of the harvest season. The other two parts reflect the dinner preparation of both farmers ready to join the feast and women working in the kitchen. Figure 1. Dinner for Threshers, by G. Wood, 1934. The medium used for the painting was oil, which Wood put on hardboard. As the artist was an outstanding representative of the American Regionalism movement, the painting was created according to the aforementioned style. While creating the painting, the author was inspired by the Northern Renaissance movement. “Dinner for Threshers,” along with other artworks, was quite important in terms of American cultural influence as it brought the authentic American style to a completely new level of worldwide recognition. The original author’s idea behind the painting was to turn it into a full-scale mural. Although this commission was never brought to life, “Dinner for Threshers” remains one of the most remarkable artworks in the context of America’s national artistic heritage.
