Ancient & European Art
... and Sculptures by Rodin

According to the Legion of Honor's Visitors Guide... "The Legion of Honor was given to the people of San Francisco by Alma de Bretteville Spreckels on Armistice Day in 1924 to honor the Californians who died during World War I."

Auguste Rodin's "The Thinker" (Alana's favorite sculpture..and perhaps his best-known work), stands — or rather sits — at the museum's entrance, in the Court of Honor.
