A
must
visit
for
those
vacationing
in
San
Diego
and
long
time
residents
of
San
Diego.
The
strength
of
the
museum
is
definitely
the
variety
of
the
art
on
display.
This
is
the
largest
art
museum
in
San
Diego.
Art
from
Asia,
Africa,
the
Middle
East,
Europe,
and
the
Americas.
Art
from
different
time
periods
dating
from
the
ancient
world,
to
the
Renaissance,
to
Modern
Art.
Religious
art,
Portraits,
sculptures,
abstract
art;
whatever
art
style
you
are
into
they
have
some
of
it
here.
The
art
is
organized
into
separate
rooms/sections
instead
of
one
large
area
so
that
it
feels
more
intimate
and
quiet
when
your
walking
around.
Exhibits
are
changed
a
few
times
a
year
so
there
is
always
something
new
to
see.
If
I
had
to
find
something
to
gripe
about,
it
is
that
it
is
a
'traditional'
art
museum:
they
don't
really
have
any
"interactive"
aspects
to
the
displays
(e.g.
look
but
don't
touch).
I've
been
to
other
museums
where
they
might
have
some
touch
screen
displays
or
video
monitors
that
give
some
further
insight
about
the
piece
of
art
you're
looking
at
or
especially
the
art
movement
it
belongs
to.
They
just
have
a
small
plaque
for
each
art
piece
(some
don't
have
any)
and
a
paragraph
at
the
entrance
of
each
section
explaining
the
time
period
from
which
the
art
belongs.
Do
you
need
to
have
some
knowledge
of
art
to
enjoy
the
pieces
here?
No,
but
a
little
more
info
would
help
the
layman.
Overall,
a
great
experiance.
If
you
had
time
to
visit
one
museum
in
balboa
park,
this
would
be
it.
A
good
place
to
take
your
family
(although
very
small
children
might
not
enjoy
much
here)
or
a
good
place
for
a
date.
Very
relaxing
place
to
walk
and
it
is
never
crowded,
even
on
Saturdays.n
