Sculpture Garden

Located at San Diego Museum of Art is the Sculpture Garden, San Diego, California. The museum was first opened in 1926 and is one location of art museums in Balboa Park. In 1972 the Sculpture Garden was started. It was named Mary S. Marcy Sculpture Court and Garden.

The garden offers several large pieces of work, most of which are on permanent display. They rarely add new work since the garden was set up. The setting is meant to be a retreat for those who want to enjoy Balboa Park, the museum, and dining. There is a courtyard where it is possible to find at least one café with food and drink. Several residents of the city come to the garden more for relaxing on the lush grass and examining the sculptures. Students use the park and the garden as a place to study out of doors.

Among the other attractions of the area are the Timken Museum of Art and Old Globe Theatre. It is possible to tour the park via the Old Town Trolley Tour before heading back to the sculpture garden for rest and relaxation. The garden is not for pets, but people who appreciate art.
