    Sculpture by the harbour
    2 more images

    Favorite thing: All big cities have some investiture in the arts and San Francisco is no exception. Apart from my beloved Palace of the Arts there is much more to see.

    Fondest memory: Sculpture plays an important part in the arts scene and is, by its very nature, more visible than other forms.
    The pictures here were taken in the wharf area and give an indication of just how spring can colour the outdoor works and make the whole scene even more outstanding.

    My favorite statue - The Thinker

    by SLLiew Written Oct 20, 2006 2381 reviews

    3.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

    Favorite thing: Was greatly surprised to run into this wonderful sculpture of Rodin entitled "The Thinker".

    It is placed in a outdoor courtyard of the Legion Museum in Lincoln Park. It is as if the "man" is in deep thought oblivious of the beautiful surrounding around.

    Have seen other Rodin's sculptures but the perfect outdoor setting made this my favorite.

    Palace of the Legion of Honor

    Palace of the Legion of Honor

    Favorite thing: There is a wonderful panorama of the Pacific & the Golden Gate Bridge from the Palace of the Legion of Honor, a copy of a building in Paris. Inside you will find an exhibition of French art which includes RODIN sculptures.
    The view and Rodin makes it worth going too.

    Art in San Francisco

    Favorite thing: San Franciscans love their art, but opinions differ, so what one person considers to be fine art is considered folly by the next person.

    This sculpture can be seen on the Embarcadero along the waterfront, between Market and the Bay Bridge. I rather like it!

    Financial District buildings are on the left and the clock tower of the Ferry Building is in the distance to the right of the sculpture.

    Inside SFMoMA

    Favorite thing: San Francisco is filled with a lot of great museums and art galleries. So, definitely find a museum that fits your genre and plan to spend sometime there. Over the years, I have basically picked a few galleries and museums that I always visit whenever I am in San Francisco (see my 'Must See' section for more info).

    Favorite thing: The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art claims to be the 2nd largest modern art museum in the United States. Some claim the architecture of the building distracts from the art. The museum is on 3rd Street, 2 blocks south of Market Street. I believe that it is closed on Wednesday and one day it's free.

    Favorite thing: Visit the SF MOMA, smoke a hooka at Kanzaman while watching a belly dancing show, eat a Quesadilla Suiza de carne asada at El Farolitos in the Mission, Sun bathe at Golden Gate Park, Salsa Dance at El Rio, drink an Italian beer at Steps of Rome while the waiters and waitresses sing and dance to contemporary Musica Italia in North Beach and you have to visit Fort Ord underneath the Golden Gate Bridge, the view is amazing........ And believe me I could go on.............!
