San Diego Museum of Art

On February 28, 1926, the San Diego Museum of Art (SDMA) opened as the Museum of Fine Arts. The building was given to the city of San Diego by the founders. Balboa Park is home to the museum. The architect William Temple ton Johnson 1 designed the museum, which was inspired by the Plateresque facade of the University of Salamanca 2 in Spain. The Museum's collections are comprehensive, with works dating from 5000 B.C. C. to 2001 AD C. The museum's main draw is the Spanish works of Murillo, Zurbarán, Ribera, and El Greco. There's a small eclectic gallery of Asian art, a couple of Impressionist-era paintings, some Georgia O'Keeffe (though these aren't always on display), and an exhibition of Japanese prints.
