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. 

The Crocker nearly tripled in size when the Charles Gwathmey-designed expansion opened in October 2010.
