  Love the Cranberry pickers and that fabulous Rembrandt among other great works. It's not so big, so you can hit it in 15 minutes if necessary. Always worth a visit when in San Diego. Very friendly/professional staff as well.

  While it is a small museum with only a few rooms of art, it shouldn't be overlooked! It has many beautiful pieces and has some family friendly pamphlets for helping kids enjoy the museum. Especially for free, this is an incredible place to visit when you're in Balboa Park! I would definitely recommend this museum.
