Nice museum to check out if you run out of things to do in Sacramento. Much bigger than it looks from the outside. Most of the stuff is on the 3rd floor. You can easily spend a couple hours here.
I used to go here all the time before they expanded it but I've only been there once since and it's so huge now that I'll definitely have to go back to see it all!!
I was really impressed with the Crocker. It can really hold it's own with places like the MOMA and DeYoung. Huge! Great collection of California art . Will be returning.
The building itself is quite a beautiful work of art , and the museum includes a fine collection by German painters as well . Not to be missed!
Did you know? Designed as a mansion and gallery for the Crocker family and their art collection , the gallery building also originally included a bowling alley , skating rink and billiards room. Read more
The Crocker expanded a few years ago and has even more great local art and history inside. A must for anyone in or visiting Sacramento
If there is not a scheduled guided tour , grab a docent and ask for it. They are volunteers and more than happy to show you around.
Love the Wayne Thiebaud selection
Check out the David Ligare exhibit , "California Classicist"... stunning representation of natural light
Great museum . A lot of artwork here. Great selection of international art to. Its also a learning experience.
Their collection of local artists is a must-see for anyone from the region.
This is the premier art museum in Sacramento. With exhibits that continually change, the selection of art never gets old.
The museum cafe is great, and the portions are large. Lots of seasonal offerings .
If you enjoy live jazz , check out their summer jazz schedule.
Everything is good here! Try the ArtMix!
The newly expanded Crocker has the best collection of modern and contemporary ceramics I've seen anywhere -- check out the collection.
Pay what you wish on the 3rd Sunday of the month.
Gorgeous Victorian details in the old building
If you plan on bringing a backpack make sure to bring 50 cents to store it in a locker. No backpacks allowed in the museum .
I could go here a million times in a row and state at each piece of art for hours.
The Warhol Exhibit is worth seeing.

I LOVED THIS PLACE AS A KID.
Really impressed with their menu. The group I was with ordered an assortment of dishes & everyone loved their meals. - kW
Open Second Saturdays til 10pm. Ask for a studio tour. There are 20 artist studios behind the 3000 sqft gallery. Voted SN&R Reader's Choice for Best Gallery in Sacramento 2009. Must see. - Jesse P
This is a great place for local artists to display and sell their work. Spaces can be rented out monthly and the staff is very friendly. - TWO MEN AND A TRUCK
A must see if you are visiting Sacramento. Within walking distance to most hotels in downtown. Ride the river cruise for a relaxing tour of the waterfront. - Sean Miller
Quiet & lots of shade. Not many tables, though. - Rusty Dane
Clam chowder on Fridays. Yum! - Therese Dominguez
