Departure Point
Legion of Honor, San Francisco, California, United States
Legion of Honor, San Francisco, California, United States With your admission ticket in hand, head to the California Palace of the Legion of Honor (known informally as the Legion of Honor), located in Lincoln Park overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge, where the Pacific spills into San Francisco Bay. A gift of Alma de Bretteville Spreckels to the city of San Francisco in the early 1900s, this stunning building is a replica of the Palais de la Légion d’Honneur along the Seine in Paris, and its epic location makes this hidden gem one of the city’s greatest treasures.
Explore the museum’s extensive collection of more than 124,000 works of art, including European paintings, sculptures and decorative arts; ancient art from the Mediterranean basin; and the largest collection of works on paper in the American West. The permanent collection reflects a history of patronage by its founders, whose focus was 18th- and 19th-century French art.
Don’t miss one of the 28 original casts of Rodin's The Thinker statue and the must-see Salon Doré of the Hôtel de la Trémoille exhibit, reopening in the fall of 2013. This is one of the finest examples of French neoclassical interior architecture in the world.
Be sure to bring your camera, because after your time at the museum, you can walk a bit down the road for incredible views of the Golden Gate Bridge and Marin Headlands in the distance.

Interessante museo della legion d'onore francese a San Francisco, creato in ricordo della fine della prima guerra mondiale. Opere rilevanti all'interno, con pezzi importanti di artisti italiani e francesi. Bella vista all'esterno sulla Baia.

I loved the Mary Cassatt exhibit, location, the art itself and the descriptions of Mary's life which gave me some insight into her struggles in the societal thinking of the time

This is my second trip to San Francisco. During my first trip in 2016, weeks drove past the modern art museum but didn’t have time to see it. I wanted to go there this time. Unfortunately it is closed on Wednesday. So we chose this museum.
My hosts have not seen this museum. The museum is located on high ground with views of the Golden Gate and the city. It has ample parking and the exterior looks like a palace. There were many rooms of exhibits ranging from sculptures, paintings, ceramics, architecture and artefacts. Two or three rooms were under renovation. We liked the museum very much. We spent more than three hours with the exhibits and about an hour in the cafeteria. The food was very tasty.
The tickets for this museum come with free tickets to the de young museum near the botanical garden. It was a memorable day.
