This is a small museum and brings more contemporary art to the San Diego Museum of Art next door. The admission is a donation only and worth the stop if you are visiting the park's cluster of museums.

World-class museum, covering the photographic gamut. I enjoy the variety of exhibitions and the staff is very knowledgable. Terrific bookstore as well.

Very interesting photographic museum. It is basically free. You can always donate or pay what you desire. Nice exhibits.
