Even though most San Diego County museums are closed due to the pandemic, the 32nd annual San Diego Museum Month will return today in an all-virtual format.
Through Feb. 28, the San Diego Museum Council will be presenting “28 Days of Museum Moments” on its website and social media channels. This will include live performances and demonstrations, educational programs for schools, virtual art exhibitions and an online film festival. Museums with outdoor facilities and gardens that have remained open are also featured. Some events will be ticketed but many will be free.
