They are in the middle of doing construction, but this does not take away from the experience. As a history teacher I loved the California Room and cannot wait to bring my students for a field trip. My husband and I enjoyed not only looking at the art but also the architecture is wonderful inside and outside the building.
This was a great museum. The building is as fabulous and impressive as the art displayed. We would recommend the Crocker Museum to anyone visiting Sacramento. We went on a Sunday, so it was free (which was nice) and it was not very busy. And we did not have trouble finding a parking space. As ornate as the building was and as impressive as the art was, i did not feel intimidated or out of place. Once again... highly recommended!
The Crocker is fabulous! Beautiful building, great collection, great location. Sundays before 1 pm you can get in free, otherwise it is a bargain at 6$. Afterward you can have lunch and tour old town Sacramento, which is only a few blocks away. This is a great museum for those intimidated by the atmosphere of more metropolitan museums. The staff is friendly and down to earth, and you can go in jeans and a t-shirt without feeling out of place.
