Yelp.com Review - by Alegra B.

5.0 of 5 stars. Next time you are wiling away a day in La Jolla, be sure to stop into the Athenaeum. This music and arts library has been around for over 100 years. The Athenaeum's specialties are art and music....

Yelp.com Review - by Anna V.

3.0 of 5 stars. I have really mixed feelings about this place. On the one hand, it has a primo collection of art and books about art (and books about unique, spectacular musicians). It is truly a jewel -- a one of...

Yelp.com Review - by ruggy j.

5.0 of 5 stars. I swooped into the Athenaeum for the first time last night for their regular urbanite gathering, The A-List. It's a mixer geared towards young professionals and attracts all sorts of good looking...

5.0 of 5 stars. I have only ever been to the library for the AList but have thoroughly enjoyed it each time. It is very pretty and what an amazing idea for a library. Although it is quite grand and elaborate it is...

Yelp.com Review - by Jennie O.

5.0 of 5 stars. This is a very rare find. I had no idea what a private library was and how few existed until I attended one of the "A-List members only parties." Not that this is some sort of elitist thing at all....

Hidden Charm

This place is a jewel in the middle of La Jolla. You can peruse the library, take in a lecture, or learn a new art. The teachers are amazing! After only one class, I am inspired to create art again.

Yelp.com Review - by Kevin B.

5.0 of 5 stars. I had no idea this place existed a few years ago. A friend had told me about an exhibit in the gallery of the Athenaeum, but when I visited I was blown away by its extensive collection of art, books...

Yelp.com Review - by Christine C.

5.0 of 5 stars. Culture, culture, culture! That is what you get at The Atheneum. It is one of the few private libraries in the state and the only library / art gallery / concert venue in San Diego. The Atheneum is...

Yelp.com Review - by Edenista M.

5.0 of 5 stars. I used to work at the Athenaeum while I was going to college. One of the rare nonprofit membership libraries in the country, this beautiful neo-classical building has been such a great resource for...

Yelp.com Review - by Kinsee M.

5.0 of 5 stars. Sure, most of the events at the Athenaeum or sponsored by the Athenaeum are more geared toward 40 to 50-year-olds with an affinity towards classical music and other highbrow art forms, but every once...
