Thank you for making Museum Day 2009 such a huge success! Please check back for information on Museum Day 2010.
Until then, check out our participating museums and upcoming events on our Twitter page.

Mission San Juan Capistrano, known as the "Jewel of the Missions", was founded in 1776. Its grounds feature the Serra Chapel, the Great Stone Church, and lush courtyards. Museum rooms depict California history and life at the Mission from The Acjachemen to present day preservation efforts.




Museums and cultural venues participate in Museum Day voluntarily. Smithsonian magazine encourages museum visitation, but is not responsible for individual museum content or participation.
