San Diego Museum of Art

The San Diego Museum of Art, housed in a magnificent Spanish Colonial Revival building at the heart of Balboa Park, is the largest fine art museum in San Diego. The permanent collection spans more than five millennia and encompasses Old Masters paintings from Spain, Italy, and Northern Europe, South and Southeast Asian art, and a growing collection of American and European modernism. The museum's setting within Balboa Park — one of the finest urban parks in the United States — and its landmark building make a visit an experience that extends well beyond the galleries into the park's extraordinary landscape, architecture, and outdoor sculpture.
