Free Legion of Honor Museum Day for Bay Area Residents

Every Saturday, the Legion of Honor opens its doors to Bay Area residents at no charge, making it one of the best free cultural deals in the city. Doors open at 9:30 am, and getting there early means you’ll have the galleries largely to yourself before the day picks up. The museum’s collection spans centuries and continents, all housed in a stunning Beaux Arts building with views of the Golden Gate Bridge. Whether you’re drawn to classical paintings, sculpture, or contemporary work, there’s something worth lingering over. Admission is free for Bay Area residents.
