Coronado Museum of History and Art


The Coronado Museum of History and Art, located at 1100 Orange Avenue, Coronado, CA, is six miles south of San Diego's Balboa Park. Housed in one of the historic Coronado downtown buildings on North Island, it is just south of the North Island Navel Complex.

The museum maintains three galleries whose collection dates back to the 1800s. Two galleries house permanent exhibits showcasing the city's history, the military development of North Island and the history of the Hotel del Coronado. The third gallery exhibits are changed quarterly. There is also a multi-purpose lecture hall that is used for both museum sponsored and private events.

The Coronado Museum of History and Art conducts docent led walking tours five days a week, designed to educate people about some aspect of Coronado. Reservations are required.

In addition to the gift store and small café in the museum's foyer, the Coronado Visitor Center is also located within the museum's lobby where volunteers provide discount ticket information, complimentary brochures and maps and information about events in Coronado.

The Coronado Museum of History and Art is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
