The real show here is the magnificent setting,the beautiful building, and the special exhibits--not the permanent collection. The special exhibits have been exquisite. I recently saw the Marie Antoinette exhibit, and the Vivienne Westwood exhibit. I plan to see the 4 Women Impressionists soon. I've been to museums all over this country, ...

My aunt took me here nearly 40 years ago. We never went inside, we walked the grounds...I frequently dream of the sculptures and the park setting, so close to the ocean and sutro ruins....I am planning a trip in '08, to bring my hubby and kids. My heart can't wait!

After being blown away by the beauty, depth and just painterly qualities of this 60 canvas show, i wandered upstairs and was equally ...

Like most SF museums, the Palace of the Legion of Honor is over-hyped (although thankfully, it is not as over-hyped as the SFMOMA). It has a decent collection, but it really falls far short of my hometown Art Institute of Chicago. I agree with the user from Paris that San Francisco's art mavens really should get their act together to turn this into a world-class museum.
