Legion of Honor

Perched on a cliff in Lincoln Park with sweeping views of the Golden Gate Bridge and the Pacific, the Legion of Honor is a three-quarter-scale replica of the Palais de la Légion d'Honneur in Paris. Built in 1924, it houses an impressive collection spanning 4,000 years of art — including Rodin sculptures (one of the largest collections outside Paris), European paintings, and ancient art. The setting alone is worth the visit: the courtyard features Rodin's "The Thinker" framed against fog and ocean.
