Instead of driving, I experimented with taking MUNI bus 28 to the de Young Museum from the Daly City BART station. The stop was right north of the Golden Gate Park entrance, and I can walk through the Rose Garden on the way to the museum. The bus has a pretty frequent service (every 12 to 15 minutes, not too bad relative to the bay area public transport standards), wasn’t much slower than driving by my own along the (usually jammed) 19th avenue, and I could take time sighting the street and observing the fellow passengers. The bus was quite bumpy though, but fortunately I was well conditioned from riding the mini-buses in Hong Kong.
There is another MUNI line 44 that can lead directly to the museum, which I plan to try next time.
