- Title: Palace of Fine Arts in the Marina District
- Description: In 1915 when the Panama Pacific International Exposition opened, it was a time of turmoil for the world and the City of San Francisco. The city had just recovering from the earthquake and fire of 1906. The nations of Europe were engaged in economic and political troubles that would lead to the start of World War I. The civic leaders of San Francisco envisioned a bold plan to bring the world together to encourage trade and to demonstrate that a rebuilt San Francisco would be truly an international city. Widely considered the most beautiful structure at the exhibition, the Palace of Fine Arts was the work of California architect Bernard Maybeck. On opening day, February 20, 1915, 250,000 people attended the first exposition event of the 20th century. By the time the PPIE closed nine months later, more than 18 million people had visited the event. Today it is home to private events, festivals, special exhibits, and the Palace of Fine Arts Theater, which sponsors concerts, comedy events, dance shows, and other types of performing arts.
