The Timken Museum of Art on the Plaza de Panama in Balboa Park opened in 1965 to show the collection of the Putnam Foundation. Its low modernist building, the only one on the plaza not in Spanish style, holds European old master paintings, including a Rembrandt, as well as American paintings and a group of Russian icons.
Balboa Park is a cultural park of about 490 hectares north-east of Downtown San Diego. Its Spanish Colonial Revival buildings along El Prado were built for the Panama–California Exposition of 1915 and the exposition of 1935, and today it holds 17 museums, theatres, gardens such as the Botanical Building with its lily pond, and the San Diego Zoo.
Old Town San Diego State Historic Park preserves the core of the town from the Mexican and early American periods, between about 1821 and 1872, below the hill where the Spanish presidio stood. Around a central plaza stand restored and reconstructed adobe and wooden buildings, such as the Casa de Estudillo of 1827, with small museums, shops and restaurants.
