Junipero Serra Museum
an Diego History Center is preparing for the next
milestone in this 90 year-old institution’s own
history. The flagship museum in the heart of
Balboa Park is providing a more complete and
inclusive view of the region’s history – turning the
spotlight on the region’s diverse communities
and heritage including the struggles and
triumphs of San Diego’s LGBTQ+ community;
the history and heritage of San Diego’s Jewish community, our
region’s Italian and Portuguese communities that led the world in
tuna fishing as well as the first-person accounts of San Diego’s
pioneering women. And now the newest exhibit, I’m Not Like You
explores and reveals subcultures in the San Diego/Tijuana region
from 1960-1990 and showcases skate culture, hip-hop, punk
music, street art and more.
At the same time, the prestigious institution – whose mission is to
preserve, reveal and promote the region’s history - is creating a
new core exhibition that seeks to be a world class experience for
everyone who lives in, and visits San Diego.
