Join the Society for Asian Art for two full days in San Diego! Balboa Park is home to three institutions that boast significant collections from Japan, China, India and elsewhere in Asia: the Mingei International Museum, Japanese Friendship Garden, and San Diego Museum of Art. We will also visit the Chinese Historical Museum and a renowned private collection of Japanese ceramics. Our tour ends on a festive note in Old Town, where we will enjoy the best Mexican food north of the border. Our base for this tour will be the award-winning Solamar San Diego, situated in the lively Gaslamp District, within walking distance to many restaurants.
