Legion of Honor

The California Palace of the Legion of Honor is San Francisco's most exquisite museum, housed in an impressive Neoclassical Beaux-Arts building in an incredible setting. Alma de Bretteville Spreckels, a socialite, philanthropist, and arts patron, presented the Legion of Honor. Because of her passion for all things Parisian, the museum was designed to be a replica of Paris's Palais de la Légion d'Honneur.

The Legion of Honor museum houses an outstanding collection of European decorative arts, sculpture, and paintings, as well as antiquities from the Mediterranean and Near East. This museum admission includes same-day admission to the de Young Museum. The museum is located in Lincoln Park, a beautiful green space with a golf course and coastal woodlands that is ideal for a leisurely walk.

Visitors can follow the path along Lincoln Highway just outside the museum, which offers spectacular ocean views and perfect views of the Golden Gate Bridge. The Land's End Trail is ideal for those looking for a more challenging hike. This winding cliffside trail in wild, rugged terrain offers panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and the Golden Gate Bridge.
