Inside The California Palace of the Legion of Honor

Built to commemorate Californian soldiers who died in World War I, the Legion of Honor is a beautiful Beaux-arts building located in San Francisco's Lincoln Park. Overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Golden Gate Bridge and all of San Francisco, the Legion is most noted for its breathtaking setting. Its collections include Rodin's Thinker, which sits in the museum's Court of Honor, European decorative arts and paintings, Ancient art, and one of the largest collections of prints and drawings in the country.

Within the Legion of Honor is the Walter and Phyllis Shorenstein Court. Walter (1915-2010) was an American billionaire real estate developer and investor. His wife, Phyllis, died in 1994 and this beautiful room is dedicated in their honor.
