San Diego Museum of Man Information

Centered on core anthropological values such as compassion, sitting in generosity rather than judgment, and love for all humanity, the San Diego Museum of Man takes a different approach as San Diego’s only cultural anthropology museum. The 501(c)(3) non-profit was founded in Balboa Park in 1915 and is located in the iconic California Building and Tower. Through original, interactive exhibits visitors discover what it means to be human, whether it's exploring how beer shaped civilizations, connecting with strangers over shared secrets, or discovering who cannibals really are (could you be one?). The Museum’s mission is to inspire human connections by exploring the human experience and is open daily, 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.
