Just Visiting : The Museum of Photographic Arts


There are a large number of museums in the San Diego Area. Some are newer than others, but some have been holding strong. An example of this is The Museum of Photographic Arts which is celebrating it's 30th year. Starting on May 1st, 2013 through the 7th, they're having a special event where they're only charging $1 for admission. This is a rather small fee, and the event as a whole sounds fascinating and like it would be a lot of fun.

On may first they're offering tours behind the scenes, letting visitors see the storage area and library of the collection between 11 am and 4pm. They're also holding a raffle, where every visitor to the museum that day is entered into a raffle for various photography related prizes. Also, if you're interested in items in the MOPA gift shop a sale will be running that first day with items reaching as much as 83% off their original pricing. (Don't worry though if you can't make it to the event on the first day, it'll have a  10% off rate until the 7th of May).
