About San Diego Museum of Man

The Museum of Us, formerly known as the San Diego Museum of Man, sits in the heart of Balboa Park’s California Building, a hub for anthropology exhibits, public programs, and intimate events. With flexible event spaces and a rich history of hosted exhibitions such as California Tower Tours and PostSecret, this venue is ideal for intimate gatherings, ceremonies, and educational programs. The Saint Francis Chapel provides a ceremonial space with seating for 88 on the ground floor plus 12 on the balcony (total 100). The Museum’s event spaces can accommodate up to about 100 people for seated gatherings. Whether you’re planning a wedding, a lecture, or a community event, we’ve got you covered with practical details to help you secure your seats and plan your visit.

Balboa Park parking recently shifted to paid options, so consider nearby Balboa Park lots or on-street parking. Public transit access includes MTS bus routes 3, 7, 120, and the Rapid 215, along with Balboa Park’s tram service. After your visit, extend your stay with nearby hotels and dining options within roughly a mile of The Prado.
