Balboa Park’s San Diego Museum of Art
Activity Level
Activity Level 1
Pace Level 1
Get away for the day to San Diego’s beautiful Balboa Park and experience two highly anticipated exhibitions at the nationally renowned San Diego Museum of Art. Art Alive is the exquisite annual spring exhibit that is in full bloom this weekend only! Talented floral designers create nearly 100 floral interpretations of works of art from the museum’s permanent collection and produce a dazzling floral display in the rotunda – culminating in a museum filled with a kaleidoscope of color and fragrance. This awe-inspiring, glorious spectacle of world-class art and unique flower arrangements has become the most widely attended events of its kind in the U.S. Also on view is Modern Women, the new exhibit that features 20 works of art by female artists whose careers were often eclipsed by their husbands. On view are exquisite works by Françoise Gilot as well as important Abstract Expressionists Lee Krasner and Elaine de Kooning. Though they were married to Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock and William de Kooning, their contributions to the development of Modern and Contemporary art are now receiving the recognition that is due. Enjoy approximately five hours at leisure to explore the San Diego Museum of Art and Balboa Park, a place where you can experience natural beauty, wonderful art, culture, and stunning Spanish Revival architecture. The free Sunday afternoon organ concert at the Spreckles Organ Pavilion is always a treat! Balboa Park boasts lush, uniquely landscaped gardens from end to end. From the sweet-smelling roses in the rose garden to the prickly cacti with beautiful blooms in the cactus garden, to brightly colored water lilies in the lily pond and outstanding orchids in the Botanical Building, the gardens here are endless and free (except for the Japanese Friendship Garden which does charge an admission payable on-site). Enjoy lunch on your own at one of the Balboa Park eateries or bring a sack lunch.
