Guests stay at the boutique Empress Hotel in “The Village,” ideally located for walking tours that trace La Jolla’s early 20th-century architecture, the Murals of La Jolla, and the Ellen Browning Scripps landmarks that shaped its artistic identity. At UC San Diego, the group discovers the Stuart Collection, an extraordinary campus-wide installation of site-specific works by artists such as Niki de Saint Phalle, Do Ho Suh, and Bruce Nauman. A guided visit to Balboa Park reveals its Spanish Colonial Revival architecture and cultural institutions including the San Diego Museum of Art, Mingei International Museum, and the Museum of Us. Our final day begins at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, where Director Kathryn Kanjo provides a private introduction to the museum’s acclaimed modern and postwar collections overlooking the Pacific. In the evening, enjoy a cocktail reception at a private home and a chance to admire their private collection of vibrant contemporary art.
