360 VIEW-SAN DIEGO-CALIFORNIA TOWER-MUSEUM OF MAN-CANNIBALISM EXHIBIT-BALBOA PARK-EP50
We found ourselves back at Balboa Park in San Diego, CA and took a tour of the famous California Tower. This building was constructed for the 1915 Panama-California Exposition. The 360 degree San Diego Skyline view is amazing. All of the upper floors of the tower building were closed in 1935 to the public. After 80 years, it was finally opened in 2015, and people have been enjoying it ever since then.
This upper portion of the tower is scheduled to close AGAIN for some earthquake restraint modifications, so it could be closed during your visit. Balboa Park has so many things to do, that when it closes temporarily, you will still have tons of other things to see.
The tower also houses the Museum of Man which has many fascinating exhibits. The exhibit explores the tragic events and issues that has forced others to resort to cannibalism. Famous cases where people had no other choices to survive are displayed, studied and discussed.
Balboa Park is home to many museums, multiple performing arts venues, and lovely gardens. The Spreckels Organ is the largest outdoor organ in the world and was built in 1914 for the 1915 Panama-California International Exposition. It’s the first-of-its-kind organ designed to “roll out” and play for an outdoor audience. It is constructed with over 5,000 pipes to bring the sound alive. They have free organ concerts every Sunday afternoon!

Places to see in ( San Diego - USA ) San Diego Museum of Man
The San Diego Museum of Man is a museum of anthropology located in Balboa Park, San Diego, California and housed in the historic landmark buildings of the California Quadrangle. The museum traces its origins to the Panama-California Exposition, which opened in 1915 on the occasion of the inauguration of the Panama Canal. The central exhibit of the exposition, The Story of Man through the Ages, was assembled under the direction of noted archaeologist Dr. Edgar Lee Hewett of the School of American Archaeology (later renamed the School of American Research, and since 2007 the School for Advanced Research). Hewett organized expeditions to gather pre-Columbian pottery from the American Southwest and to Guatemala for objects and reproductions of Maya civilization monuments.
Numerous other materials were gathered from expeditions sent by anthropologist Aleš Hrdlička of the Smithsonian Institution, who gathered casts and specimens from Africa, Siberia, Alaska and Southeast Asia. Osteological remains and trepanated crania from Peruvian sites were also obtained. As the Exposition drew to a close, a group of citizens led by George Marston formed the San Diego Museum Association to retain the collection and convert it into a permanent museum, with Dr. Hewett as the first director. Notable additions to the museum’s collection after the Exposition included the Jessop Weapons Collection and a rare collection of artifacts from the ancient Egyptian city of Amarna, donated by Ellen Browning Scripps and the Egyptian Exploration Society.
The museum's cultural resources and permanent exhibits focus on the pre-Columbian history of the western Americas, with materials drawn from Native American cultures of the Southern California region, and Mesoamerican civilizations such as the Maya. The museum also holds one of the most important collections of Ancient Egyptian antiquities in the United States, which includes burial masks, figurines, and seven painted wooden coffins. The most extraordinary of these is an extremely rare Ptolemaic child's coffin — only six others are known to exist worldwide. Total holdings include more than 100,000 documented ethnographic items, more than 300,000 archaeological items, and more than 25,000 photographic images.
