Palace of Fine Arts
Since 1915
The Palace of Fine Arts is a monumental structure located in the Marina District of San Francisco, California, United States, originally built for the 1915 Panama–Pacific International Exposition to exhibit works of art. It is the only structure from the exposition that survives on site, though it was completely rebuilt from 1964 to 1974.
Conceived to evoke a decaying ruin of ancient Rome, the Palace of Fine Arts became one of San Francisco's most recognizable landmarks.
