The Crocker


In my ongoing quest to keep Carolyn was going crazy cooped up inside the house and with a couple of complimentary passes from our friends, the Navarros, we took a field trip to the Crocker Art Museum in downtown Sacramento.

According to their website:
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 offers a diverse spectrum of special exhibitions, events and programs to augment its collections of California, European and Asian artworks, and International Ceramics. The mission of the Museum is to promote an awareness of and enthusiasm for human experience through art. The Museum fulfills its mission by offering a variety of education programs for Youth & Family, Schools & Teachers and the Public.


We especially enjoyed the special exhibit currently on display featuring works of M. C. Esher. Fortunately, we went to that exhibit first as we found that there is more at the museum than we could possibly see in one visit. This is definitely one to add to our list of attractions to bring friends and family to when they come to Sacramento to visit.
