Legion of Honor

The Legion of Honor, located in San Francisco, is a museum that houses an extensive collection of ancient and European art. Best known for its iconic sculpture, Auguste Rodin’s The Thinker, which stands in the front courtyard, the museum offers more than just artistic treasures. Visitors can also enjoy breathtaking views of the Golden Gate Bridge and the Pacific Ocean from nearly every window. This combination of cultural richness and natural beauty makes the Legion, as it is affectionately called by locals, a unique and enriching destination.
