Introduction

Perched on a clifftop in Lincoln Park overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge and the Pacific, the Legion of Honor is part of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. Its French neoclassical Palace of the Legion of Honor building, modeled on Paris's Palais de la Légion d'Honneur, was built for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition. The collection focuses on European art and holds North America's premier collection of Auguste Rodin sculpture, including the iconic bronze 'The Kiss,' alongside works by Rembrandt, Monet and Picasso.
