Legion of Honor: Entry Ticket

Perched grandly in Lincoln Park with sweeping views of the Golden Gate Bridge, the Legion of Honor is more than a museum—it’s a journey through time and beauty. Expect breathtaking architecture, serene gardens, and over 124,000 works of art spanning ancient civilizations to modern masters. Be prepared to linger—this is the kind of place you’ll want to lose track of time.

What You Will Experience

• Rodin’s Mastery & Gallery of Sculptures
  Wander into the Legion’s founding collection of European sculpture, including The Thinker, The Age of Bronze, studies for The Gates of Hell, and over 90 Rodin works assembled by the visionary founder, Alma de Bretteville Spreckels.

• European Decorative Arts & Period Rooms
  Explore opulent 18th-century furniture, porcelain, and beautifully preserved period rooms like the Salon Doré from Hôtel de La Trémoille, plus masterpieces of craftsmanship—furniture made for Marie-Antoinette, exquisite French cabinets, and the Bowles Gallery of English and Continental porcelain.

• Hilltop Setting & Neoclassical Architecture
  The building itself is a marvel: a replica of Paris’s Palace of the Légion d’Honneur via the 1915 French Pavilion, with grand colonnades, elegant proportions, and classic Beaux-Arts style. All of this poised above the city with ocean views that take your breath.

• Ancient Art & Hall of Antiquities
  See relics from Egypt, the Near East, Greece, and Rome—vessels, jewelry, wooden figures. One standout: a 4,000-year-old carved wood figure of Seneb, the Egyptian royal scribe.

• Paintings Across Centuries
  Paintings by masters old and more modern—Rembrandt, Titian, Rubens, Monet, van Gogh and others. Each gallery lets you travel from the Renaissance, through Baroque and Romanticism, to Impressionism and beyond.
