Description

The Legion of Honor, a three-quarter scale adaptation of the 18th-century Palais de la Legion d'Honneur in Paris, is one of San Francisco's most beautiful museums. Built to commemorate Californian soldiers who died in World War I, the Legion of Honor is a Beaux-arts building located in San Francisco's Lincoln Park. Overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Golden Gate Bridge and all of San Francisco, the Legion is noted for its breathtaking setting. The museum displays a collection of over 4,000 years of ancient and European art and houses the Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts. Highlights of the collections include works by El Greco, Peter Paul Rubens, Auguste Rodin, Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn, Claude Monet, Fra Angelico and many other artists. Perhaps Rodin's best-known monumental work, the Thinker, dominates the Legion's outdoor Court of Honor.
