Originally built for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition, the elegant San Francisco structure still stands in its original location though it was rebuilt in 1965 and underwent renovations in 2009. Palace of Fine Arts was designed by Bernard Maybeck and today hosts art exhibitions, musical performances and theatrical events. It is a popular event venue with its beautiful lagoon reflecting the magnificent Beaux-Arts architecture. The grand palace is on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places and a smaller scale replica was constructed in Disney's California Adventure Park in Anaheim.
