San Francicsco Exhibition about James Simon

"The State Museums of Berlin and the Legacy of James Simon," an exhibit of 150 treasures from the State Museums of Berlin, is on display at the California Palace of the Legion of Honor.

Offered as a "case study of the history of collecting during the late 19th and early 20th centuries," the exhibit is a testament to the philanthropy of Simon, the German-Jewish art patron and collector who donated thousands of works to Berlin's nine state museums before his death in 1932."

View the show from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Tuesdays-Sundays through Jan. 18 at Lincoln Park, 34th Avenue and Clement Street, S.F. Admission is $16 to $20 with a $10 surcharge included. Call 415-750-3600 or visit www.legionofhonor.org for more information.
