You forgot the Museum of Photographic Arts and the Museum of
San Diego History, both near the Hall of Champions, and
Spanish Village just north of the Museum of Natural History.
The Museum of Natural History has a great display of San Diego
County Gems and Minerals, the variety of which is world class.
Spanish Village is a collection of arts and crafts people and
some of the local societies like the San Diego Mineral and Gem
Society.

On the Embarcadero, west end of Ash Street is the Maritime
Museum with the Star of India, oldest iron sailing ship
afloat, and the Berkeley, former San Francisco Bay ferryboat.

BTW, local "public transportation" is a joke.  There is a
light rail trolly from the AMTRAK station to the border (Tia
Juana) which is fun.  The AMTRAK service from Los Angeles is
good.
