Automotive Museum

2080 Pan American Plaza
San Diego, CA 92101

The original idea of creating an automotive museum in Balboa Park came from Briggs Cunningham, a renowned automobile collector and racer.  After spending approximately $1 million renovating and upgrading the building, the San Diego Automotive Museum opened in December of 1988.  Since then millions of local auto enthusiasts and tourists from all over the world have visited our world-class collection.  Today the museum stands as a living tribute to the automobile and what it has meant to our culture.

Have your next special event on the museum floor among unique and historic automobiles!  You can rent the Museum space to celebrate any special event–and it will be an event your guests won’t soon forget!
