San Diego Museum of Arts


officially opening in 1926, the San Diego Museum of Art was built in the Spanish-Colonial Style of the 1915 Expo buildings located in Balboa Park. The facade was further enhanced with motifs taken from the sixteenth century Spanish Renaissance and included life-size sculptures of spanish old-master painters, velazquez, murillo and Zubaran, as well as heraldic symbols of Spain, the United Staets, California, and San Diego. During world War II, collections from the Museum were moved inland for safe storage while the Museum itself served as a US Navy Hospital.
