Mingei International Museum

Picture
 ​After a three-year closure for a transformational renovation, MTA member Mingei  International Museum reopened on September 3, 2021, with a dynamic slate of exhibitions, commissioned artworks and public programs.

 Enhancements to the museum include adding 10,000 square feet to exhibition and programming space and creating a new theater, education center, bistro, store and coffee bar.

After two years of design, planning and fundraising, the Museum closed for construction in September 2018. “As an institution, we approached this project as a combination of three essential and interrelated components connected to our mission: Access, Art and Architecture,” said Director and CEO Rob Sidner. “We are confident that the new Mingei will be a cultural anchor in Balboa Park and a source of inspiration for the San Diego region and our national and international visitors.”

Learn more about the museum's transformative construction project and reopening in their press release below.
