The Museum of Us is an anthropology-focused museum in Balboa Park, San Diego, California. Founded in 1915 as the San Diego Museum of Man, it operates as a nonprofit organization. It aims to illuminate the human experience and foster connections through interactive exhibits and an approach that emphasizes compassion over authority. The museum invites a broad public audience to consider what it means to be human, covering topics from the historical influence of beer to inquiries about shared secrets and cannibalism. A recent development includes being named a finalist for a national honor in 2024.
