Legion of Honor presents European painting, sculpture and decorative arts in a landmark museum building in San Francisco’s Lincoln Park.
Its collections also include ancient Mediterranean art, creating a focused art destination in a landscaped setting near the city’s northwestern coast.
Check current museum hours, admission and exhibition tickets before traveling. Some community admission programs have eligibility requirements and do not make every visit free. Use the Lincoln Park campus address; the de Young is a separate museum location, even though both belong to the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.
