Went for the Guo Pei exhibit. So amazing! Gorgeously presented work. I normally burnt out after an hour at a museum but this one was very engaging. Her work is incredible. The pictures don't do it justice.

A very nice museum situated on stunningly beautiful grounds. Each time period is represented by a small number of works. The Rodin collection is very impressive and takes up several rooms. The entire museum can be seen in a couple of hours.

A must-visit for anyone who is an aficionado for central European art, particularly French. First off, if you're a resident of the Bay, you have free admission on Saturdays, so if you're looking for a tasteful after-lunch activity, this is a wonderful choice. Parking directly in front of the museum is rather limited, but just go a bit further in and down a short hill to find more roadside parking. If you happen to be an Impressionist or Monet fan, this is a must visit, as they house one of his water lilies works. They also feature side-exhibits that rotate depending on whatever the focus of the month is. At the time I visited, there was an exhibit featuring England's attempt at imitating porcelain.

Hello, I was wondering if there are any hotels nearby? I was planning on visiting San Francisco and I wanted to also see the Legion of Honor as well. Are there any hotels within walking distance?

Stephen Dullin | Aug 20, 2018
Stacey Quandt | Aug 20, 2018

I recommend the The Laurel Inn in Laurel Heights or perhaps the Inn at the Presidio. However both hotels are an hour walk to the Legion of Honor. However, Laurel Heights is north of golden gate park and south of the Legion of Honor. There are public buses and Lyft and Uber are also options. I strongly suggest staying as far away from Union Square as possible as it is quite terrible. If you are interested in the Legion of Honor I suggest you also consider the DeYoung Museum, the conservatory of Flowers and the Japanese garden. Which are all in Golden Gate Park.

Unfortunately, No. The museum staff are all assigned duties which leaves no time to help push visitors around in wheelchairs. The museum is spacious, lots of room to manuever around.

How many rules doe this museum income on members when trying to view art exhibitions. I am currently being followed by hired City of San Francisco employees who are the guards. They are harnessing me for viewing the paintings too close, if I see my s

Sally Durkan | Aug 20, 2018
Vivian VK | Aug 20, 2018

All museums require you to stay back from the artwork by a specific distance. If you want to go to museums to see art, you have to follow their rules. If it happens just once, you probably will be okay. If you continue to violate the required distance, expect the guards to watch you carefully. The Museum's have to protect their art. They have no idea who you are or what your intentions are. Follow the rules. Otherwise just get a book or go online.

is it neccessary to buy ticket seperately special exhibit and general addmission?

YJ Kim | Aug 20, 2018
Jenn L (KlingonTwo) | Aug 20, 2018

No, you can just buy the special exhibit ticket. It covers both the special exhibit you paid for and the permanent exhibits.
