The Legion of Honor was built in 1924 to honor the 3,600 California soldiers who gave their lives during World War I. A smaller-size replica of the 18th-century Palais de la Légion d’Honneur in Paris, it is considered one of the most beautiful museums in San Francisco.

 

The beauty also extends to the surrounding areas as the Legion is overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Golden Gate Bridge and all of San Francisco in a most breathtaking setting at Lincoln Park. Its collections include works encompassing 4,000 years of art history. Works such as Rodin's Thinker, which sits in the Legion's Court of Honor, are part of a larger collection that consist of European decorative arts and paintings, Ancient art, and one of the largest collections of prints and drawings in the country.
