The San Diego Museum of Art

It's a small museum but has an impressive collection of art . Love the works by the Italian masters, especially a Venetian scene by Canaletto, incredible detail!

Paintings from American artists from the early 1800s and first settlement was captivating. It was an experience to never forget when you can still see each brush stroke leaving its historical imprint.

Did you know? The museum traces its roots to the 1915 Panama-California International Exposition which celebrated the opening of the Panama Canal and promoted San Diego as a seaport & cultural center Read more

While not a large art museum , they pack a lot of high quality fine art into the space. A comprehensive of small collection.

We really enjoy taking in the beautiful art while enjoying live music at the museum 's Culture & Cocktails evening events .

Amazing jewelry , great art books (some say the best selection in San Diego), and a superb gift selection. Not a bad place to drop some cash.

There are some great exhibits here sometimes, plus, if you're already in beautiful Balboa Park , why not?

The Staff here is amazing. Very friendly and helpful. Especially the security guard Andres and the Gallery attendant Austin. Awesome guys.

Check out Culture and Cocktails , a special event where DJ's play while you look at the expansive art collection . Enjoy cocktails and even play at the arts and crafts table! Read more

I'd recommend taking a docent tour - they can provide insight about the works that you'd probably never know otherwise.

Check out their after hours program

Collections and tours are great. The staff , not so much.

See the Arnold Newman show before it closes!

Plan ahead, stop at the WB Booth for a signings schedule! #SP

Rudest staff at any museum I've been to! Hateful people. Don't waste your time here! Kicked me out for wearing a backpack (after I paid & front desk said nothing!) total BS museum ! :(

Go to the SDMA store, say hi to Chacho.

The workers here are more concerned about u takin pics than touching the paintings . Worst employees ever. They know nothing of fine art
