What is the Palace of Fine Arts?

The Palace of Fine Arts is a public monument, the last surviving structure from the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exhibition. Urban engineers created the 635-acre site from the mud flats at the bay's edge. The rotunda and colonnade are fronted by a man-made lagoon, lined with paved pathways and benches. Behind the main structure is the Palace of Fine Arts Theatre, which welcomes top comedians, musical acts, and other performers regularly.

What was the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exhibition?

Conceived as a celebration for the completion of the Panama Canal, the 1915 event was also a way to encourage visitors to return to San Francisco after the infamous 1906 earthquake and fire. Similar to other famous world's fairs through history, the Panama-Pacific International Exhibition showcased the latest technological and artistic innovations, including a race car, steam locomotive, and telephone.

Why was the Exhibition so important?

Beyond bringing visitors to support local businesses, the Exhibition also helped solidify San Francisco's reputation as "The City That Knows How"—something we're still very proud of to this day!

But perhaps the most important outcome of the Exhibition was the creation of an entirely new neighborhood. Once the swamp was dredged and the land was filled, the Marina was born. The Palace of Fine Arts has remained an icon of the neighborhood ever since.

What is the history of the Palace of Fine Arts?

After the 1915 event ended, the other exhibition structures were demolished—but not the Palace of Fine Arts. The monument had so thoroughly captivated locals and visitors alike that San Franciscans refused to part with it.

However beloved it was, the Palace of Fine Arts was poorly maintained for many years. As the structure faced collapse in the 1960s, San Franciscans rallied to preserve it. The Palace of Fine Arts was reconstructed over many years with stronger, longer-lasting materials, ensuring the building would remain a permanent fixture of the San Francisco skyline.

What are the "Weeping Women" at the Palace of Fine Arts?

You might expect the columns of the Palace to be topped with sculptures of rearing horses, soaring eagles, or proud ancient warriors. Instead, original architect Bernard Maybeck and sculptor Ulric Ellerhusen created a collection of feminine statues, their backs turned to the public, faces almost hidden.

These pieces, known locally as the "Weeping Women", have captured visitors' curiosity since their unveiling. Maybeck is said to have claimed they represent those who would mourn a world without art. We like to say they represent visitors to San Francisco who don't want to go home!
