San Diego Museum of Art

 
The San Diego Museum of Art, originally called the Fine Arts Building, is a copy of the 17th century University of Salamanca in the so-called Platero style (i.e. finely-chiseled terracotta and silversmith work). Busts of Spanish painters adorn the façade, and their works hang in the museum's collection. The main interest lies, perhaps in the pre-Renaissance paintings and those by Flemish masters, as well as 19th and 20th century art, and a large department housing American, Chinese, Japanese and other oriental works of art, including Indian and Persian miniatures. There are also some contemporary sculptures.
