Be sure to bring your camera for views of the Golden Gate Bridge, the Pacific Ocean, and the Marin Headlands from the surrounding area.
The impressive building is a replica of Paris' Palais de la Légion d’Honneur. View the ornate exterior before presenting your admission ticket and proceeding inside.

Check in was very easy. Parking can be a bit challenging, but the views surrounding the museum is fantastic.
The staff were very friendly and polite.
There are plenty of pieces to see at the museum. I would definitely recommend going!

We arrived at the Legion of honor and the Viator app wouldn’t bring up our reservation. We received a screen saying oops sorry we have an error. Couldn’t confirm tickets and had to purchase again. Not happy and won’t use this app sgain

Kevin_Y, Sep 2025
I enjoyed the art, but was disappointed I didn't get to see the Monet painting, which had been moved.
Evonnia_T, Jul 2025
Absolutely beautiful museum. Everyone was kind and helpful. The restrooms were clean. The bookstore/gift shop had a variety, and the menu at the café looked delicious.
Eric_C, Jul 2025
it may have been my fault, but i needed to cancel when i realized your ticket did not get me into the special exhibit i wanted at the museum. And i couldn't ! I think you should offer a 24hour cancellation or put it in up front text that your ticket doesn't offer special exhibits before customer hits "pay"
Jess_G, Dec 2024
Just about everything. Each piece is well described with appropriate history of the subject and artist. Impressive.
Margit_C, Oct 2024
I loved the Mary Cassatt exhibit, location, the art itself and the descriptions of Mary's life which gave me some insight into her struggles in the societal thinking of the time
Neal_W, Aug 2024
The food and service in the cafe was excellent! Was surprised by this. Usually “museum” food is not good. This was the exception.
Kaleena_N, Jul 2024
The architecture and paintings were all so beautiful. You feel transformed into a European museum not in the middle of a large congested city.
Lydia_A, Apr 2024
Experience was amazing and art was great as well as the view of the bridge and can also go golfing with friends!
Shackell_B, Nov 2023
Beautiful museum. Great architecture! We didn’t get to see everything but we Will definitely visit again!
Sandra_M, Aug 2023
I am a native San Franciscan and have visited The Legion of Honour since I was in a stroller!
At 74 years young, I’m still in awe of this wonderful magical place, where time stands still for me with overflowing memories.
Traci_F, Jul 2023
It was not disclosed that I'd have to purchase another full price ticket at the door to include the special event. Ended up paying $50 for $30 event. No way to return ticket to your platform day of event.
Ed_C, May 2023
To crowded to comfortably view! Plus, I was charged twice $30.00 for general admission and the Sergeant in Spain.
I only wanted to see Sergeant in Spain. Probably not.
Ruth_D, Mar 2023
We went for the John Singer Sargent exhibit and enjoyed that very much. But, I still LOVE the resident exhibits at the Legion. Always comforting to see Bouguereau’s The Broken Pitcher and Makovsky’s, Russian Bride…
DougandLynn_P, Dec 2022
First visit for my wife and the collections did impress her. I noticed the changes since my last visit in the 1980s
Marina_G, Nov 2022
Fantastic museum, beautiful inside and out! Loved seeing all the different pieces from history! Absolutely coming back!
Ngaire_H, Nov 2022
wonderful eclectic collection
I had shown sufficient appreciation and there is surely no obligation in a voluntary feedback to write a specified amount
Natalie_S, Oct 2022
Being there with family who truly enjoyed the museum as the permanent instillations were beautifully juxtaposed with the temporary exhibit.
Pattie_W, Aug 2022
I was charged an extra $30 I was not expecting because I used Viator instead of going to the Legion of Honor website. I will avoid using Viator in the future.
Nancy_H, Nov 2021
Fortunately, I’ve been to the museum, but years ago. We weren’t able to attend because of an event in the area that we didn’t learn about until it was too late.
LeeAnn_D, Jul 2021
Last Days of Pompei was excellent. The displays were informative and entertaining. I would recommend to anyone.
misty_r, Jun 2021
Please don’t buy tickets through Viator like I did. Buy then through the museum directly like I should have. Viator customer service is terrible. I will never deal with Viator again.
Elinor A, Apr 2016
Very enjoyable and inspiring. Viator's directions were quite helpful.
Richard D, Aug 2015
Beautiful museum. Not only the artwork, but also the building itself, surrounding grounds and view. Well worth to spend half a day here. Combine your visit with a trip to Golden Gate Park and the De Young Museum which can be visit with your ticket as well. Great value for money.
Allison M, Oct 2014
A stunning building containing a stunning art classic art collection. The café is very nice too.
Robert W, Sep 2013
The tour was as described and the Legion of Honor as always had a good exhibit. However the ticket I printed on line from you was no end of trouble. We had to speak with four different people and no noe recognized or knew what the ticket was even thought it contained a bar code. They finally let us in and
still did not know it included an audio tour but eventually did let us have it.
From $20.00
per person-You will not receive a refund if you cancel.
