THE SAN DIEGO MUSEUM OF ART

I biked over to Balboa Park this morning to see if the scaffolding had come down from the William Templeton Johnson building that houses the San Diego Museum of Art. Wow! It may not date back to the Renaissance, but it ranks in beauty right up there with some European buildings that do. Built in 1926, the edifice had lost some of its luster so a renovation was undertaken a couple of years ago. What we see here is well worth the cost and the inconvenience of going into the museum through a side door.
