| dc.description | Raking view of the back, north wall; Although Johnson is best known for his Spanish Revival buildings, his work and life spanned many architectural movements, including the skyscrapers of the Chicago School and the natural philosophy of Arts and Crafts. He designed the San Diego Art Museum in Balboa Park with a Plateresque entrance. Johnson also designed the Museum of Natural History in Balboa Park six years later, in 1932. Its eclectic decor includes a number of Moorish influences, such as the row of arches under a balustrade and the yellow and blue tiles under the arches; the lack of a tile roof is unusual for Johnson in a structure with as many Spanish touches as the building has.
