I was here when the exhibits were about art and science to tell stories about climate change, and other topics. The museum was free that day and had interesting pieces hung from the ceiling and pinned on the wall. Its best to have a docent walk you through the idea behind them so you can appreciate them more. The museum is pretty small and doesnt take long to see everything.

Cool experience they have a thing called wonder spaces, vr art videos made by individual people its nothing crazy but entertaining nice little activity to do, $15 get your 4 different vr experiences .

The building tower is obviously when I passed by garden. But I didn’t go in

The gardens are beautiful too

Wow! What a find! An excellent troves of contemporary art was a true surprise. Dont pass this gem by on your trip to Balboa Park.

A small space holding a dazzling display of artists with a wide variety of works and installations. I especially loved the moving and interactive That They Might Be Heirs collection of works. This art requires some pause and reflection to get the perspective of the artists but it is well worth the pause.

Great place to view art. Nice ambiance and friendly people.

Small museum to see rotating exhibitions of contemporary art. Its inexpensive to visit and often not crowded. Staff is nice and there is a small gift shop. This is one of my favorite places to visit in Balboa park!

A great place like no other in San Diego, fair prices with so much wonderful and even historic art pieces! A must for all!

The CNote: sold a picture. Yey for me!

Wonderful curated art with a friendly staff.

I think maybe I came on a quieter day.. guess it was fine since it was an SD resident free day and there is a video room which u can watch a short clip and also headphones that allow u to try on

Will definitely be going back this place was awesome theres so much to see the Landscaping is beautiful and the architectural work is amazing if you love walking you probably wont mind but if you dont its not the place for you the parking is for its free but its far you have to do lots of walking just to get to where youre going I didnt mind cuz I love walking

Beautiful things inside this building

Very happy with the way they treated my pieces from their c-note art show. They professionally packaged all three of my pieces carefully.

As good as it gets in San Diego. Nice museum collection and good visting exhibitions.

Great place to visit even if your not an art lover. See and learn some very interesting things that you didnt know. It could very well make you smile, it did me.

Fantastic venue with cutting edge creative work

Very nice place!

I love this museum. It has amazing art every time I go.

Too much modern art, no one needs that

Love this spot.

So beautiful and relaxing

Showcase for San Diegos artist community. And they will soon be adding a coffee concession that is part of the Mingei.

Great place to turn your dreams into a reality! Helpful staff, great facility, plenty of parking, & great vibe.

Looks like a fun place to explore your inner artist!

Spanish Arquitecture during a Fair that was never finished & ended up as Museum of Man

Very small, single-exhibition style art gallery. Fair price for entry, just check the exhibit on display before you go.

I guess we showed up at the wrong time because there were very few pieces on display. A few of them were pretty neat.

Lot of fun for everyone.

Enjoyed

Keeping the arts alive and vibrant in San Diego can be credited partly to this institution. Shoe your support for the arts or become a part.
