Our annual San Diego Museum Month program may look a little different this year, but February remains the perfect month to discover (or re-discover) the story of San Diego as told through our diverse range of museums, historic sites, gardens, zoo/aquariums and more.

Join us every day in February as we explore a rich world of cultural experiences, including virtual activities, behind-the-scenes tours, and other special museum moments you can only find in San Diego.

Follow San Diego Museum Council on social media for daily updates and happenings, and check back here soon for details. #SDMuseumMonth

For more than sixty years, Mother Nature has transformed the rolling hills of North San Diego County into one of the most spectacular and coordinated displays of natural color and beauty anywhere in the world. The nearly fifty acres of Giant Tecolote Ranunculus flowers that make up the Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch in Carlsbad, California, are in bloom for approximately six to eight weeks each year - from early March through early May - literally bringing the famous fields back to life. This annual burst of color, which has become part of the area’s local heritage, also is one of nature’s official ways of announcing the arrival of spring here in Southern California.

It's never too early to start learning science! Children ages 3-5 can start their learning experiences and create excitement for science with Young Scientists. The 4-week program comes with prepackaged materials and weekly video check-ins. This month, get ready to design and create! Discover how to think like an engineer as we build on our understanding of structures, vehicles and buildings.

Join performers from the San Diego Shakespeare Society as they lead you through a magical tour of some of the Museum’s most romantic works, paired with beloved sonnets and passages from Shakespeare’s plays. 

This special Virtual SDMA+ San Diego Shakespeare Society: Romantic ArtStops online performance will be shared on The San Diego Museum of Art YouTube channel.
