San Diego Art Galleries

San Diego's art scene is alive! You can find art of all types in galleries around the city ranging from modern art to photography. As you travel around the city, you'll also notice art built in as part of the landscape.

For anyone who loves modern art, the San Diego Museum of Contemporary Art has two locations with impressive galleries. Head downtown or north to La Jolla and spend the day perusing arts on various mediums.

Balboa Park is a great place for art lovers! Here you can check out the Museum of Photographic Arts, the San Diego Museum of Art and the San Diego Art Institute: Museum of the Living Artist. Grab a "Balboa Park Passport" for discounted rates of up to 50 percent to all the museums in the park.
