Crocker Art Museum
The oldest public art museum in the American West, combining a Victorian mansion with a modern new wing, known for its California art and European drawings.
The Crocker family donated the museum to the public in 1885. The original building is a lavish Italianate mansion with galleries, and a modern wing completed in 2010 tripled the floor space. The collection focuses on Gold Rush-era California landscape paintings, European master drawings, Asian and African art, and contemporary ceramics. Admission costs about $15 to $20. It is closed on Mondays and open late on Thursdays. It is about a 10-minute walk south of Old Sacramento.
