The Legion of Honor is a fine arts museum in San Francisco that is brimming with thousands of pieces. They date all the way back to 4,000 years, giving a wide range of ancient and European masterpieces. The Beaux-Arts building is exceptionally beautiful, and the setting is breathtaking. All around you is the picturesque beauty of the Bay, with exceptional views of the coast and Golden Gate Bridge. Admission is usually $15, but the museum is free the first Tuesday of every month, so you have no excuse to not soak up some culture! Photo courtesy of SF.Funcheap.com
