2024 marks the 100th anniversary of San Francisco’s Legion of Honor. In honor of this celebration, the Legion of Honor is partnering with the library for a series of free docent talks about the Museum's remarkable collections. This talk will look at the Legion's global connections and the art, cultures and stories reflected in that collection. The talk will be led by Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco docent Mike Madrid.
