I have been a member of this museum for over 10 years and enjoy visiting weekly and it pains me to write this review about my favorite museum in San Diego. However, the Mingei has recently cancelled an exhibit of Palestinian art and textiles , effectively censoring their voices during a pivotal moment in time. These voices deserve to be uplifted, not silenced. I was looking forward to such an important cultural event.
As an international museum you have no right to censor international art at the bequest of your well endowed monied donors. Your community demands better of you and in fact DESERVES better.
Censorship has absolutely no place in art, the same as it has no place in books or education.
I no longer feel safe in a museum who censors art and caters to powerful donors.
Art is for the people of our community to enjoy and learn from. Shame on you for making sure we can't do that
I will be cancelling my membership with Mingei and immediately ceasing all support of Balboa Park and its operations and I will be alerting my San Diego community to the great disservice you have done as you embarrassingly stand on the wrong side of history.

Was a delightful museum to tour. A lot of history and creative works. Especially enjoyed the fabric exhibits. Thoroughly enjoyed my time there.

It’s been a long time since I visited this museum. There were interesting art and cultural display. It is a small museum and the current displays were not as impressive as I recall other exhibits in the past years. It has a rooftop terrace that provides nice view of the park.

This is a fascinating museum. We have visited twice, and both times been amazed at exhibits. Paper art from Japan was pretty astounding, but in particular paper "lace" with amazing detail. The museum's restaurant was equally fabulous, with meals from many cultures. The board room features a long wood table and chairs that reflect the artistry of woodworking. This place is a visual treat and should not be missed if strolling Balboa Park. Wheelchair access was quite straightforward as well.

I really enjoyed this museum. There are some outstanding works exhibited on the bottom floor which is free. Upstairs were two exhibits on traditional textiles and baskets, and contemporary jewelry. I would have liked to learn more about some of the traditional weaving techniques and materials.
