Washed Ashore: Art To Save The Sea at San Diego Natural History Museum
What happens when beach trash becomes breathtaking art? Find out in this stunning exhibition that transforms ocean debris into impossible-to-ignore sculptures. Wander among suspended jellyfish blooms, walk through an 18-foot whale “rib cage,” and meet Dexter the Dungeness crab, Eli the eel, Annie the anemone, and their companions. All works of art are crafted from ocean debris like plastic bottles and caps, flip flops, sand toys, lighters, nylon rope, and even toothbrushes. This exhibit is included with your Balboa Park Explorer Pass.
