So you wanna be an art aficionado, eh? How much will it cost to unleash your inner Van Gogh at the San Diego Museum of Art?
Let's face it, browsing masterpieces shouldn't break the bank, especially when your bank account is channeling its inner starving artist. But fear not, fellow art enthusiast, because the San Diego Museum of Art (SDMA) has your wallet (and your creative spirit) covered!
The Great Admission Breakdown: How much are we talkin' dough?
General Admission: For a mere $20, you'll be granted access to the museum's entire collection, from Spanish old masters (think epic paintings with dramatic lighting) to modern masterpieces that might make you say "wait, that's art?" But hey, that's the beauty of art, it's subjective...unless of course, you draw a stick figure and call it a day. Then we might have a problem.
Senior Discount: Ah, the wisdom of age comes with a perk! Those 65 and over can snag a discounted ticket for $15.
Young Picassos in the Making: Good news for the kiddos! Anyone under 17 gets in for free. Stock up on those juice boxes and unleash the next generation of art lovers!
Free as a Bird (well, almost): The May S. Marcy Sculpture Court and Garden is always free to explore. So if you're feeling a bit low on funds but still want a dose of culture, pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the fresh air and beautiful sculptures.
Insider Tip: The SDMA offers free admission on the first Tuesday of every month from 2 pm to 8 pm. Just be prepared for potentially larger crowds.
