Legion of Honor Museum San Francisco

Best Friend, Annette, Legion of Honor Museum

A month ago, my two friends and I planned a trip to the Legion of Honor Museum to see the Isabelle de Borchgrave "Pulp Fashion" exhibit. Unfortunately, my friend Cynthia, was not able to make it because she wasn't feeling well. Everyday we looked at the weather for San Francisco, everyday it said RAIN 100%. The night before we left, it said the same. The morning we were leaving, it said the same. When we arrived it was a beautiful, sunny day! Yay! God just seemed to bless us on this day.

We hopped in a taxi and told the driver, "Legion of Honor Museum, Lincoln Park". He took us the Lincoln Ave where all the other museums were, but not this one. To top things off, we began to feel sick in the back seat, had to roll down the windows and once we were at the right museum, sit outside for a few minutes in the cool breeze to feel better. Weird.

The Legion of Honor Museum is a gorgeous Beaux Arts style building complete with an arch and a courtyard. It is right by the water with a stunning view.

The arch is very detailed.

And to our surprise, Rodin's The Thinker is in the courtyard. The museum has a huge Augustus Rodin exhibit inside.

After we entered, we were greeted by these stunning flower arrangements.

This tulip is so amazingly beautiful. The color, the ruffled edges, and the shape are a delight for the eye.

Just beyond the flowers is the Rodin room which contains The Kiss, The Hand and many more. There were two rooms displaying his sculptures.

We then headed downstairs to the star attraction for us that day. The Isabelle de Borchgrave "Pulp Fashion" exhibit. The detailing, the painting, and the fashioning was amazing.

I got to take a few pictures (flash off, of course) before I was told there was no photography.

This dress was incredible. It looked like free flowing chiffon, but of course, it was paper. We had such a great day.
