Legion of Honor

The California Palace of the Legion of Honor, sometimes known as the Legion of Honor, is a museum in San Francisco, California. The Legion of Honor is part of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, which also manages the de Young Museum, and is located in Lincoln Park.

The Legion of Honour, a museum as unique and enlightening as San Francisco itself, houses a wonderfully varied collection that includes Monet's water lilies and John Cage soundscapes, ancient Iraqi ivories, and Robert Crumb's counterculture comics. Upstairs, there are big displays of old masters and Impressionists but don't miss the Legion's Achenbach Foundation of Graphic Arts collection, which has 90,000 works on paper ranging from Rembrandt's sketches to Ed Ruscha's graphic designs. The setting of the Legion is as good as the painting. There are spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean, and pathways lead to the Lands End Lookout, which offers breathtaking vistas of the Golden Gate Bridge. On a hot day, head below the viewpoint to the demolished Sutro Baths, previously San Francisco's most fashionable swimming spot.

Location: 100 34th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121
