Legion of Honor

The Legion of Honor is a fine arts museum located in Lincoln Park that opened in 1924 as a gift to the city and is modeled after the French Pavilion of the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition. The museum's collection emphasizes European art, including paintings, sculpture, and decorative arts, and it hosts major temporary exhibitions and public programs. Its hilltop site and classical architecture make it a long-standing cultural landmark on San Francisco's northwest edge.
