What can 2 million artifacts tell us about where we’ve been—and where we’re headed? 👀
Let our new video highlighting the San Diego Archaeological Center explain!
This center is unique because its focus is entirely on the history and archaeology of the San Diego region. With more than 2 million artifacts representing San Diego County, the museum helps piece together the many cultures, communities, and stories that have shaped this place we call home.
San Diego has always been a melting pot of cultures, and understanding where we came from can help us better understand where we’re going. Even more meaningful, the Center works alongside local Native communities to temporarily house and care for artifacts, with the goal of ultimately returning them to the communities they belong to. ❤️
Every artifact has a story—and together, they help tell the much bigger story of San Diego.
If you could uncover one artifact from San Diego’s past, what would you want to discover—and what story would you hope it could tell? 🏺
