It’s Museum Month in San Diego
San Diego was recently named “The Newest Cultural Mecca in the United States,” according to Travelocity. They cite our abundance of museums, galleries, theatre and film festivals all as proof, as well as our antique stores, and fine dining. Are you part of this phenomenon?
If not, now’s the time. February is Museum Month in San Diego. Museum Month was created in 1989 to promote awareness of the San Diego region’s museums, historical sites, educational institutions and cultural offerings. This is the 18th year San Diegans will have the opportunity to join the celebration.
