Beyond San Diego’s world-class Balboa Park museums are a multitude more that each offer culturally immersive memories. Here are four San Diego County museum favorites just a little farther afield from downtown and off the beaten Balboa Park path.
The vibrant colors of Niraja Lorenz’s wall-sized “Edge of Chaos” textile design is a wonderous welcome to Visions Museum of Textile Arts. Located in Liberty Station’s Art District, this museum showcases unique textile artworks made from paper to more traditional yarn and thread fibers woven into exquisite works of embroidery, crochet and sewing. As well as international creators, many are by emerging local artists from within 250 miles of the only textile-art museum in Southern California.
