As San Diego County’s first museum on an Indian reservation dedicated to the perpetuation and presentation of the local Kumeyaay-Diegueño Native culture, the Barona Museum offers a unique educational journey for visitors of all ages.

The Museum’s collection represents thousands of years of history—some objects dating as far back as 10,000 years—and it demonstrates the artistry and skill of the hemisphere’s first inhabitants.

Heritage Project 2023

 

See the Heritage Project from the 8th Graders at Barona Indian Charter School. This amazing exhibition was on display at the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla.

Help support the preservation of Kumeyaay/Diegueño culture and heritage for future generations.  Contribute to collections, exhibitions, education, and all the programming that enriches our community’s understanding of San Diego history and the Native People.  Be a part of something big—help us continue to share another way of knowing, another way of life—that has been the guiding force in this region, the homeland we share, since time immemorial.
