A new museum dedicated to the history and heritage of the U.S. Navy SEALs is in the works for downtown San Diego. It’s scheduled to open in Late 2024.
The 10,000-square-foot museum, which is still under construction at 1001 Kettner Boulevard in the Marina District, will be the second location of the National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum. The other location, in Fort Pierce, Florida, opened in 1985.
“This museum has been several years in the making, and we’ve secured the ideal space in the heart of San Diego – an iconic location for an iconic force – near Naval Base Coronado, where all Navy SEALs are trained and led, and in a region where more than 600,000 military veterans reside,” retired SEAL Master Chief Rick Kaiser, the Navy SEAL Museum’s Chief Executive Officer, said in a statement.
Kaiser said the museum would tell the story of the Navy SEALs through exhibits, galleries, interactive exhibits and digital media. The museum is expected to attract tourists and create jobs.
The San Diego Tourism Authority supports the project and said the museum would enhance the destination experience for visitors to Downtown San Diego.
