— What You Can Expect —

The Legion of Honor sounds like an assembly of superheroes, but it is, in fact, a  museum packed with an unrivalled collection of art. There are over 124,000 works spanning 4,000 years, from European sculptures and paintings to ancient art from the Mediterranean and Near East. Its most famous piece is Rodin's The Thinker, but there are plenty of other highlights by Degas, Monet, Rubens, and more.

Spend some time getting up to scratch with the art world here at the de Young, which strives to stay current in today's most relevant cultural discussions. Be inspired by American art from the 17th to 21st centuries, international contemporary art, textiles, costumes, and more! Along with regularly changing temporary exhibitions, you'll be awed by permanent art collections from Africa, and wowed by works from Oceania and the Americas. The textile art exhibition shows the way cloth, clothing, and patterns reflect an active and fascinating conversation among cultures and periods.
