San Francisco's Seaside Museum of Tranquility - the Legion of Honor Museum

The Legion of Honor Museum in Lincoln Park is a complete replica of the Legion d 'Honneur in Paris, France, dedicated to the 3,600 Californians who lost their lives fighting in France during World War I.

The museum's collection spans 4,000 years of ancient and European art, including masterpieces such as Auguste Rodin's "The Thinker," E.M. kinner organ, European decorative art and paintings, works of ancient art, and one of the largest collections of art on paper in the United States.

The Legion of Honor Museum is located in Lincoln Park, SF. It was established by San Francisco philanthropist Alma de Bretteville Spreckels in memory of California soldiers killed in World War I and opened in 1924.

The museum is a small replica of the Hotel des Invalides in Paris, France. The architectural style is neoclassical, showcasing stately colonnades, spacious courtyards and elegant sculpture gardens.

The museum covers collections from the Middle Ages to the 20th century, including paintings (such as Rembrandt, Rubens, Van Gogh, Monet, etc.); Sculptures include numerous works by Rodin; The collection also includes furniture, porcelain and tapestries. But to be fair, none of these works are famous. It is because there are not many people, the whole exhibition seems very relaxed, and visitors will feel comfortable.

Today coincides with Japanese Prints in Transition: From the Floating World to the Modern World, a special exhibition of Japanese prints, and of course Katsushika Hokusai's famous Kanagawa. Parking is very plentiful, general exhibition $20, special exhibition extra fee.
