"Art of Navigation" draws upon some of the finest and most beautiful examples of period instruments, charts, and voyage accounts, illuminated by the work of documentary maritime artist Gordon Miller. The showcase is embellished by exquisite models of the storied ships which conducted the enterprise from the Museum’s own collections, and even majestic full-scale operational versions such as the galleon San Salvador, man-of-war H.M.S. Surprise, schooner Californian, and the Maritime Museum of San Diego flagship Star of India, veteran of twenty-one navigations around the earth. As a powerful and mysterious art, navigation and the territorial claims of trade and empire it conveyed drew much of its authority and mastery from the same aesthetic as did all art. In consequence, the instruments, reference texts, and nautical charts which were its tools and products were therefore also objects of exquisite beauty. Exhibit entry included with general admission. Maritime Museum of San Diego is open daily 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Last visitor entry 4 p.m. For tickets visit sdmaritime.org.

"Stars, Cars and Guitars" is a “blast from the past” exhibit showing how, in less than a decade, from the years from 1958 to 1965, surfing related elements came to dominate popular culture forming a lasting effect on California, America and the world at large. From iconic record albums, period surfboards, fashion artifacts, seminal photographic images and memorabilia, visitors get a clearer sense of why this era is considered the “golden age” of surfing and the surfing lifestyle. In just a few short years an entirely new social structure was formed with its own vernacular, mode of dress, art, musical sound, modes of transportation, hair styles, and rituals all its own. Museum Hours: 10 a.m.- 4 p.m. daily California Surf Museum on Facebook / Instagram
