Welcome to SAN FRANCISCO TOP ATTRACTIONS, the best eBook to enjoy the city of SAN FRANCISCO and surrounding areas. We have selected for you the most distinctive attractions that SAN FRANCISCO has to offer. All the attractions in this guide book were chosen to bring you all the things you need to know to take advantage of this spectacular city. The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) houses 20th century and contemporary works of art. The Palace of the Legion of Honor holds primarily European antiquities and works of art at its Lincoln Park building modeled after its Parisian namesake. It is administered by Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, which also operates the de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park. The de Young's collection features American decorative pieces and anthropological holdings from Africa, Oceania and the Americas. Prior to construction of its current copper-clad structure, completed in 2005, the de Young also housed the Asian Art Museum, which, with artifacts from over 6,000 years of history across Asia, moved into the former public library next to Civic Center in 2003. Opposite the Music Concourse from the de Young stands the California Academy of Sciences, a natural history museum that also hosts the Morrison Planetarium and Steinhart Aquarium. Its current structure, featuring a living roof, is an example of sustainable architecture and opened in 2008. The Palace of Fine Arts, built originally for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition, has since 1969 housed the Exploratorium, an interactive science museum. San Francisco is the financial and transportation center of the San Francisco Bay Area, a region of 7.6 million people. San Francisco is one of the top tourist destinations in the world, ranking 35th out of the 100 most visited cities worldwide,and is renowned for its cool summers, fog, steep rolling hills, eclectic mix of architecture, and landmarks including the Golden Gate Bridge, cable cars, and its Chinatown.
