I discovered that everything in San Francisco is "all about the views". When you read reviews of anything in SF, you will inevitably see the word "view." So, I admit the views from the museum are fantastic. But.... that should not be the driving reason for going there, because there are plenty of places with great views. You should go... More

I recommend taking the trolley, bus, bike and/or walk. Take your time. The whole afternoon. The property is iconic San Francisco, maybe. Sea cliffs and Monterey cypress. Meandering trails. And the squawk of sea birds, the deep booming wail of the inside buoey. Glimpses of Golden Gate Bridge. Robin's thinker dominates the courtyard at the museum and does so with... More

The Legion of Honor is well worth the time and energy required to visit. Public transport will deliver you to the door and what wonders await you once you are there. Enter the beautiful, spacious exhibition halls, talk with the friendly, knowledgeable staff, enjoy the sculpture, paintings, furniture, and artistic wonders that span millenia yet speak to today. Set in... More

Great permanent collection of art that is focused on historical and renaissance art. There is very little if any modern art here in the permanent collection but some of the rotating exhibits might be more modern. Also the view from here is great on a sunny day, so bring a picnic and enjoy. More

This is a must see in San Francisco. Has many super world class works of art and was completely uncrowded. We did as part of the City Pass and it was a great deal. More

Great views from the grounds and Rodin collection is well worth seeing. More

A "must see" if you've never been to San Francisco. Great view of the Bay and a very well appointed museum. There are tour buses that go there regularly and wedding parties usually go to take pictures there. Put it on your list. More

Sitting high up in Lincoln Park, the grounds are great for picnicking. However, it can be breezy and fog can roll in at any time. The exterior is a great example of over the top neo-classical revival with a mini-modern pyramid in the middle of the stone courtyard (kind of like a scaled down Louvre.) The show contained Victorian works... More

The setting is breathtaking, over looking the Golden Gate, a sculpture garden and the classic architecture of the building. However, it is chilly, even on a sunny day!! A great place for lunch (in the cafe) and senic views, as well as the traveling and permanent exhibits. A real treasure for locals and tourists alike. On most weekends, the parking... More
