Directions
The Legion of Honor opened in 1924 as a memorial to Californians who died in World War I. San Francisco patron Alma de Bretteville Spreckels championed the museum, whose neoclassical building was inspired by the Palais de la Légion d’Honneur in Paris. Set in Lincoln Park above the Pacific, it pairs art with views toward the Golden Gate Bridge. Its collections are especially strong in European painting and sculpture, with ancient Mediterranean art and works on paper also represented. A cast of Auguste Rodin’s The Thinker greets visitors in the courtyard, introducing the museum’s connection to French art before they step inside. Alongside the de Young, the Legion of Honor forms part of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.
