Museum of Us

We are excited to share that during the 2023-2024 fiscal year, we welcomed over 17,000 visitors with free admission. That’s even more than the previous fiscal year, when we welcomed over 12,000 visitors.    We are committed to making the Museum accessible for all through free admission opportunities like admission scholarships and Educator Week, programs like the San Diego Public Library’s Discover & Go pass and the 2024 Winter Reading Challenge, and more.    By donating to the Museum, you can help provide accessible learning experiences to our community AND build new exhibits to experience in 2025. Plus, any donation of $20 or more comes with free membership for one year.     Learn more and donate at museumofus.org/donate.
