The San Diego Natural History Museum was built in 1933 on the site of the 1915 Southern California Counties building, which was converted to a Civic Auditorium after the 1915 fair and burned down in 1925; during the 1935 fair the new building was called the Palace of Natural History. A major addition to the museum was dedicated in April 2001, doubling exhibit space.
