“I personally like the Mingei International Museum”
San Diego is steeped in history. We have museums of every nature to help us preserve, understand & appreciate all aspects of it – from archeology to air & space travel, the great masters of European painting to contemporary art & photography.
February is Museum Month! Enrich your mind & preserve your wallet with 1/2 price admission to 39 world famous museums!
Members of the San Diego Museum Council invite you inside for a glimpse at what makes us all special. To take advantage of this once a year windfall, you can pick up a free Museum Month Pass at participating Macy’s store locations throughout the county. With the pass, you and up to three friends can enter any participating museum at half price.
Revisit your favorite museum or local landmark, like the Birch Aquarium at Scripps, Maritime Museum of San Diego, Museum of Making Music, San Diego Museum of Man, or the Tijuana Estuary Visitors Center.
Some institutions have limited participation, so check before you go.
For example, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego’s Downtown location offers discounted admission all month, whereas their sister museum The La Jolla MCASD is participating only during the week of February 21 – 28.
Museums in San Diego have been extending this special offer every year since 1989, in an effort to promote awareness of the region’s museums, historical sites, educational institutions and cultural offerings. Last year more than 19,000 people took advantage of this great opportunity. To see a list of all participating museums and landmarks, go to the Museum Month website.
Unfortunately, I won’t make it SD in February, but if I did I would go.
