    We enjoyed the Mingei Museum when visiting Balboa Park. They have a history of fashion shows from Isrea (House of Isrea), which is interesting. They also have a collection of works by pop culture artist William L Hawkins. They also have a collection of fascinating rare books that eventually became my favorite exhibition.

    The city of San Diego is also a more inclusive place. The museum here is also quite interesting. You can see many foreign art forms, which are not very precious items. The exhibition in the museum is also quite rich.

    This star in the Balboa Park complex of museums is closing on Sept. 1, 2018 for renovations that hopefully will only last 1 year. Thus, I''d take a cool break in August to enjoy the featured Jewish exhibit, the rare book show, the colorful Ohio artist -- William L. Hawkins, the Niki de Saint Phalle mobile in the lobby, Mexican toys, and Dale Chihuly hanging sculpture over the stairs. Good news is their well stocked international gift/book shop will open in Liberty Station in October, 2018.

    Generally speaking, museums are very good. I like the Japanese logo and tapestry display. The space itself is very good and suitable for exhibition. It's very quiet when I go. That's good. I had two problems in the museum. 1) In my opinion, the admission fee is a little high. 2) I feel like the museum has missed something. As the name says, this is an international museum. I hope it covers more areas. There is nothing in Africa or South America, and very little in Europe.
