You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.214.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 16:45, 10 January 2025. Your current IP address is 44.214.4.121.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''San Diego Museum of Art''' is a fine arts museum in [[Balboa Park, San Diego, California|Balboa Park]] in [[San Diego]], [[California]] that houses a broad collection with particular strength in Spanish art. The San Diego Museum of Art opened as The Fine Arts Gallery of San Diego on February 28, 1926, and changed its name to the San Diego Museum of Art in 1978.<ref name="Davenport">((cite book |last1=Davenport |first1=William  |title=Fine Art Treasures in the West|url=https://archive.org/details/arttreasuresinwe00dave |url-access=registration |year=1966|publisher=Lane Magazine & Book Company|location=Menlo Park, California|pages=[https://archive.org/details/arttreasuresinwe00dave/page/27 27–31]))</ref><ref name="Museum">((cite web|url=http://www.sdmart.org/info-history.html |title=History of SDMA |publisher=San Diego Museum of Art |access-date=February 22, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100102063301/http://www.sdmart.org/info-history.html |archive-date=January 2, 2010 ))</ref> The official Balboa Park website calls the San Diego Museum of Art "the region's oldest and largest art museum".<ref name="Balboa">((cite web|url=http://www.balboapark.org/in-the-park/detail.php?OrgID=19|title=The San Diego Museum of Art|publisher=Balboa Park|access-date=February 22, 2010|archive-date=March 16, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100316203713/http://www.balboapark.org/in-the-park/detail.php?OrgID=19|url-status=live))</ref> Nearly half a million people visit the museum each year.<ref name="Visitors">((cite web|url=http://www.sandiego.org/listing/Visitors/2995|title=San Diego Museum of Art|publisher=San Diego Convention & Visitors Bureau|access-date=February 22, 2010|archive-date=June 20, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100620192129/http://www.sandiego.org/listing/Visitors/2995|url-status=live))</ref>

==Structure==
The museum building was designed by architects [[William Templeton Johnson]] and [[Robert W. Snyder]] in a [[plateresque]] style to harmonize with existing structures from the [[Panama–California Exposition (1915)|Panama–California Exposition of 1915]].<ref name="Davenport" /><ref>((cite web|url=http://www.sandiegohistory.org/bio/johnson/johnson.htm|title=William Templeton Johnson|publisher=San Diego Historical Society|access-date=October 4, 2007|archive-date=June 7, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090607030500/http://www.sandiegohistory.org/bio/johnson/johnson.htm|url-status=live))</ref> The dominant feature of the façade is a heavily ornamented door inspired by a doorway at the [[University of Salamanca]].<ref name="Davenport" /> The [[Cathedral of Valladolid]] also influenced the museum's exterior design, and the architects derived interior motifs from the Santa Cruz Hospital of [[Toledo, Spain]].<ref name="Museum" /> The original construction took two years.<ref name="Museum"/> Sponsor [[Appleton S. Bridges]] donated the building to the [[City of San Diego]] upon its completion.<ref name="Museum"/> In 1966 the museum added a west wing and a sculpture court which doubled its size, and an east wing in 1974 further increased its exhibition space.<ref name="Davenport" /><ref name="Museum"/> Plans are underway for a renovation to the rotunda, sculpture garden, façade, auditorium, and other features.<ref name="Museum"/>

==Collections==
The Museum's collections are encyclopedic in nature, with pieces ranging in date from 5000 BC to 2012 AD. The museum's strength is in Spanish works by [[Bartolomé Esteban Murillo|Murillo]], [[Zurbarán]], [[Juan Sánchez Cotán|Cotán]], [[José Ribera|Ribera]] and [[El Greco]]. Much of the museum's old master collection was donated by sisters Anne, Amy, and Irene Putnam.<ref name="Davenport" /> The museum's first major acquisition was the 1939 purchase of [[Francisco Goya]]'s ''El Marques de Sofraga'', which had belonged to a private family collection until that time and had never before been on public exhibition.<ref name="Davenport" /> The Putnam sisters provided financial backing for the purchase.<ref name="Davenport" /> The following year, director Reginald Poland acquired a portrait by [[Giovanni Bellini]] for the museum's collection.<ref name="Davenport" /> Then in 1941 the museum purchased a [[Diego Velázquez]] portrait of the Infanta Margarita of Spain, which was possibly a study for a larger portrait of her in [[Vienna]].<ref name="Davenport" /> Other major benefactors during the museum's first quarter century were Archer M. Huntington and Mr. and Mrs. Henry Timken,<ref name="Museum" /> whose small art collection is housed in the nearby [[Timken Museum of Art]], established in 1965. In 2012, the Museum of Art received 48 German Expressionist paintings, drawings and prints from a range of artists, including [[Otto Dix]], [[Egon Schiele]], [[Alexej von Jawlensky]], [[Gabriele Münter]] and [[Gustav Klimt]] from the collection of Vance E. Kondon and his wife Elisabeth Giesberger.<ref>Jamie Wetherbe (March 23, 2012), [http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/culturemonster/2012/03/san-diego-museums-gifted-40-million-art-collection.html San Diego museums receive $40-million art collection] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120416163812/http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/culturemonster/2012/03/san-diego-museums-gifted-40-million-art-collection.html |date=April 16, 2012 )) ''[[Los Angeles Times]]''.</ref>

The museum houses works by Italian masters [[Giorgione]], [[Giambattista Pittoni]], [[Giotto]], [[Paolo Veronese|Veronese]], [[Luini]] and [[Canaletto]]. Works by [[Peter Paul Rubens|Rubens]], [[Frans Hals|Hals]] and [[van Dyck]] represent the [[Northern European]] School. The museum regularly hosts touring exhibits and has lately been working to display its standard collection in new ways, including an upstairs gallery discussing information which can be gathered by looking on the back of the canvas. The exhibition is complemented with a large collection of images, including portraits, Arnold Newman's work, and Mexican landscapes from the early twentieth century.<ref>((Cite web|title=San Diego Museum of Art |url=https://infoblogscat.blogspot.com/2022/09/san-diego-museum-of-art.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220927101950/https://infoblogscat.blogspot.com/2022/09/san-diego-museum-of-art.html |archive-date=2022-09-27  |access-date=2022-09-27 |website=infoblogscat.blogspot.com|date=September 27, 2022 ))</ref>

==Contemporary art programming==
((unreferenced section|date=May 2018))
In 2010, The San Diego Museum of Art in conjunction with the Agitprop gallery created The Summer Salon Series. The program, curated by Alexander Jarman and David White, featured local emerging artists who presented and performed temporary art works and workshops in direct response to the Toulouse-Lautrec exhibition. Each of the ten presentations involved Contemporary Artists' responses to the Modern Art on display in the museum.

==Special events==
Each April since 1981 the Museum hosts its major fundraiser, "Art Alive". Floral designers use flowers and other organic materials to express their interpretation of a work of art from the Museum's permanent collection. For four days the resulting creations are displayed next to the art work that inspired them.<ref>((cite news |title=Art in full bloom |url=http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_action=doc&p_docid=136EAF3987837A28&p_docnum=2&s_dlid=DL0111072123154205958&s_ecproduct=SUB-FREE&s_ecprodtype=INSTANT&s_trackval=&s_siteloc=&s_referrer=&s_subterm=Subscription%20until%3A%2012%2F14%2F2025%2011%3A59%20PM&s_docsbal=%20&s_subexpires=12%2F14%2F2025%2011%3A59%20PM&s_docstart=&s_docsleft=&s_docsread=&s_username=sdubsub&s_accountid=AC0110122214325408110&s_upgradeable=no |newspaper=San Diego Union Tribune |date=April 28, 2011 |access-date=July 21, 2011 |archive-date=October 25, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121025213940/http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_action=doc&p_docid=136EAF3987837A28&p_docnum=2&s_dlid=DL0111072123154205958&s_ecproduct=SUB-FREE&s_ecprodtype=INSTANT&s_trackval=&s_siteloc=&s_referrer=&s_subterm=Subscription%20until:%2012%2F14%2F2025%2011:59%20PM&s_docsbal=%20&s_subexpires=12%2F14%2F2025%2011:59%20PM&s_docstart=&s_docsleft=&s_docsread=&s_username=sdubsub&s_accountid=AC0110122214325408110&s_upgradeable=no |url-status=live ))</ref> The museum also hosts events such as "Art after Hours" and "Culture and Cocktails", which encourage attendees to sample the collection into the evening during extended opening hours or partake in social events centered in the gallery.
