when was the legion of honor opened
The Legion of Honor was inspired by the French pavilion, a replica of the Palais de la LÃ¨gion dâHonneur in Paris, at San Franciscoâs Panama-Pacific International Exposition of 1915. The museum opened in 1924 in the Beaux Artsâstyle building designed by George Applegarth on a bluff overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge.
