The Legion of Honor in San Francisco is hosting the "Bouquets to Art" exhibit, a unique showcase where floral designers create arrangements inspired by classic artworks. Raul Duenas, the lead designer, views the museum as a vibrant canvas for creativity. Artists like Vanessa Marlin adapt their interpretations, using mannequins instead of live models for practicality. Each arrangement creatively narrates the story behind the pieces they represent, embodying themes like love and transformation. The extension of this event marks a special celebration of the museum's centenary, alongside a colorful display at the neighboring de Young Museum.

"So my inspiration for this one is like, what do you do for love? You change yourself and to be part of it so he can win the girl’s heart..."
