San Francisco - Legion of Honor Museum
The museum is
in Lincoln Park hill on the northwest side of the city.

donated to the city by Spreckels family in 1924 to honor the Californians who
died in World War 1. It is a replica of the Legion d'Honneur in Paris.
Inside you can

sculpture and one of the largest repositories of works of art on paper in the
nation.
Visitors are
encouraged to book ticket reservations online in advance, from 4:30 it is free
entry to visit the permanent collections.
the Legion of
Honor has one of the most comprehensive holdings of the French sculptor Auguste
Rodin (1840–1917) in the United States, and you can see the large sculpture
“the thinker” in the entrance plaza.
In front of the
Legion of Honor Museum you can see the impressive plaza and fountain, on the
