thumb
Impact of Wikipedia to Museums - the British Museum noticed that online traffic to its web site related to its prized artifact, the Rosetta Stone, was just 1/5 as much to the Rosetta Stone Wikipedia article. This was the start of many GLAM-Wikipedia collaborations.

Parking

Taxis and ridesharing services can drop attendees off near Old Globe Plaza.

Attendees driving themselves can park in the Organ Pavilion Parking Lot behind the Spreckles Organ Pavilion or the Federal Parking Lot next to the Hall of Champions. From the parking lots walk north to the Plaza de Panama and then west to Old Globe Plaza.

Parking is also available near the Natural History Museum and the Fleet Science Center. Walk west down El Prado towards the Plaza de Panama.
