Timken Museum of Art

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.
