The Legion of Honor

Perched on a bluff above the Pacific, the Legion of Honor feels like a piece of Europe transported to the edge of the world. Its neoclassical colonnade frames sweeping views of the Golden Gate Bridge and the Marin Headlands beyond. Within, the museum houses centuries of European art — from Rodin’s The Thinker to luminous Impressionist paintings and ancient artifacts.

It is a place where art, history, and landscape converge — a timeless dialogue between human creativity and the grandeur of nature.
