SDMA 100 Years
On February 28, 1926, the Fine Arts Gallery—now The San Diego Museum of Art—opened its doors to three-thousand visitors eager to experience the refined “plateresque” architecture of its façade and the burgeoning collection of San Diego’s first art museum. SDMA 100 Years presents photographs, ephemera, and film footage of key moments in the Museum’s history and looks at its evolution from its birth at the 1915 Panama–California Exposition to a reimagined future for the next hundred years. This exhibit is included with your Balboa Park Explorer Pass.
