Crocker Art Museum

Comment on Facebook

The longest continuously operating art museum in the West, the Crocker Art Museum was founded in 1885 and remains the leading art institution for the California Capital Region and Central Valley. The Museum, which is housed in one of the finest examples of Victorian Italianate architecture in the United States, offers a diverse spectrum of special exhibitions, events, and programs to augment its collections of California, European, and Asian artworks, and International Ceramics.

In October 2010, the museum debuted a 100,000 square foot expansion that was constructed to ensure the Museum remains an ever-more-vital cultural center and resource for the community, as well as for art-lovers from near and far. The expansion enables the Museum to dramatically increase and improve its offerings, providing all members of the public with a more diverse range of public programs and exhibitions and an enhanced opportunity for meaningful encounters with great works of art.

      The first week in April, there was an outstanding conference on Caring Science, the work of Jean Watson. Health Care professionals participated in Art Therapy, among other things. Art is so essential for the personal growth of young people and to the healing process of some patients. Art is under funded in schools today. This event is a great opportunity and I hope many enroll. 5 Stars. Collapse

      Remember a few years ago when in a homeschooling groups whom met in the Sacramento Convention Center decided to put a fig leaf on the nude statue of Poseidon, and shockingly the city allowed them to do so with the publically owned statue. One had to wonder what were they teaching their children if they couldn't deal with naked Greek statues(?). Those in charge of the Crocker art museum should likewise understand not to cave into demands to censor art anymore than our public libraries. Collapse

      The new Crocker Art Museum still doesn't come close in comparison to many others nationally, such as the DeYoung Museum in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. Aside from classic forms of art, gallery also contained "contemporary" pieces that looked like grade school projects. In the middle of the day, the concrete in the performance courtyard area apparently drew a lot of complaints from both audience and performers of being too hot and having no shading. The staff, though as hard as they tried, were just too short of white umbrella tents to shield the audiences. The cafe's "special" for the grand opening day was just a soup they seriously wrote on the menu board as something as "killed squash"(a personal statement on behalf of the chef?). Sold also were overpriced fast food items as hot dogs, hamburgers and fries; certainly not the "cuisine" they claimed they'd have. Money should have gone instead to "improving" other things in our city. Collapse
