The San Diego Museum Of Art ReopensTo General Public July 9th

We’re thrilled to share the news that the San Diego Museum of Art will reopen its doors to the general public on Thursday, July 9th following a closure since March 14th due to the COVID-19 global pandemic.

As an added precaution, since the Governor has placed San Diego on the state watch list, the Museum is cancelling the Member Preview reopening dates next Monday 7/6 and Tuesday 7/7 and is tentatively planning to proceed with the scheduled public reopening on Thursday, 7/9.
