A Month of Discovery
Museum Month is the perfect time to revisit your favorite museums or check out new ones you’ve always wanted to explore. The program continues to grow, featuring an ever-expanding list of participating institutions that showcase San Diego’s diverse cultural offerings.
From history and science to nature and music, there’s something for everyone!
How to Participate
- Pick up a free printed Museum Month pass at over 80 public libraries across San Diego County starting January 24.

A Tradition of Cultural Enrichment
Launched in 1989, San Diego Museum Month has become a beloved annual tradition. Last year, over 110,000 people took advantage of the opportunity to experience San Diego’s world-class museums at half the cost. This year, with more participating locations than ever, the event continues its mission to make arts and culture accessible to all.
