San Diego Museum of Art San Diego Museum of Art The San Diego Museum of Art is a fine arts museum located at 1450 El Prado in Balboa Park in San Diego, California that houses a broad collection with particular strength in Spanish art. The San Diego Museum of Art opened as The Fine Arts Gallery of San Diego on February 28, 1926, and changed its name to the San Diego Museum of Art in 1978. The official Balboa Park website calls the San Diego Museum of Art "the region's oldest and largest art museum". Nearly half a million people visit the museum each year.
Balboa Park (San Diego) is July 2019. December 2016 opponents of the traffic redirect, and its associated 'bypass bridge' sued to stop it from moving forward on the grounds it would fundamentally change the historic monument. The City Attorney Mara Elliot called this an "unjustified attempt" to delay the project, but the opposition group SOHO claimed it would have adverse effects on the park, and its historic integrity. Balboa Park frequently holds events throughout its museums, venues, and plazas. These events include free weekly concerts at the Spreckles Organ Pavilion each Sunday at 2:00 p.m., guest speakers, and annual parades, cultural festivals, and fairs.
