The Legion of Honor

An active member in support of San Francisco’s most beautiful museum and one of the world’s most important collections of ancient and European art.

Perched atop a promontory overlooking the Pacific Ocean and the Golden Gate Bridge, the Legion of Honor was built in 1924 to commemorate Californian soldiers who died during World War I. Now it’s filled with a fantastic collection of art, and is, most people say, San Francisco’s most beautiful museum.

Collections include Rodin’s popular Thinker, and various works by European masters like El Greco, Rubens, Rembrandt, Matisse and Picasso. For me though, it’s the Legion’s collection of 1,300 ancient works of art that most captures my imagination and makes the organization a worthy cause for sponsorship.
