Description

Founded in 1885, the Crocker Art Museum has the distinction of not only being the oldest art museum in Sacramento, but the oldest continuously operating art museum in the western US. The building itself is as interesting as the art inside. Housed in one of the premier examples of Victorian Italianate architecture in the country, the museum's permanent collections feature 14,000 works of art, with exhibits on California Art, European Art, Asian Art, and American Art. More than 20 rotating exhibitions each year keep the museum's offerings fresh and innovative.
