S.F. Bay Area — California
San Francisco, CA
San Francisco Attractions
The Legion of Honor

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.  It's one of our favorite museums — inside and out. Panoramic San Francisco Bay views from the museum are breathtaking, especially on a "fog-free" sunny day.

Ancient & European Art
... and Sculptures by Rodin
The museum houses a collection of 4,000 years of European arts and paintings, Ancient art, one of the largest collections of prints and drawings in the country — and the largest selection of Rodin sculptures outside of Paris.
