The Museum of Us is recognizable by the California Tower, an ornate structure capped with a colorful, tile-covered dome that rises nearly two hundred feet above Balboa Park. Built for the nineteen fifteen Panama-California Exposition to celebrate the opening of the Panama Canal, the building serves as the centerpiece of the California Quadrangle. Its architecture blends Baroque, Plateresque, and Gothic styles, featuring intricate sculptures of historical figures on its exterior.
