Significant special collections include mid-century Pop Art, Latin American art, and artworks from the Tijuana region. The museum's downtown location is housed within the historic Jacobs Building, which formerly served as the baggage building for the Santa Fe Depot. At the La Jolla location, visitors can peruse the Edwards Garden Gallery and shop at the museum's X Store.
