12 O'Clock Scholar Lectures

Venture to Balboa Park on Mondays at noon. Parking is easier—many museums are closed—and the Museum of Man is open and welcoming with an eclectic mix of presentations and lectures. All 12 O'Clock Scholar Programs are held at noon at the Museum and are included with regular Museum admission of $8 for adults; $6 for youth ages 13–17, seniors over 65, students (with ID), and active military (with ID); and $4 for children ages 3-12. The lectures are free for Museum of Man members and children under 3. Our next round of 12 O'Clock Scholars lectures begins after Indian Fair. Please check back later or call (619) 239-2001 for further information.

Let A Museum Docent Be Your Guide

For over two years, guided tours of the Museum have been available to the general public every Saturday at 1:00 p.m. These tours are free to Museum members. Thanks to the continued dedication of the Museum’s Docents, we have extended these tours to include 11:00 a.m. on Saturdays. These free guided tours occur on Saturdays at 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. If you haven’t been to the Museum in a while, come and let a Museum Docent be your guide.
