点评:I was visiting my son in Sacramento, and this was my first visit to the Crocker Art Museum. Although not a huge museum, we stayed 2 1/2 hours and only saw a fraction of the exhibits. Even though the size of the museum isn't overwhelming, the art is impressive and interesting. The Crocker—the oldest art museum in the Western U.S.—was founded in 1885 and holds a premier collection of Californian art. The overall collection is varied, including one of the largest international (Asian, African, and Oceanic) ceramic collections in the U.S. The museum also has a lot of European art that the Crocker family purchased on their extended trips to Europe. In fact, the museum was originally built as an art gallery for the Crocker family's personal mansion. I also enjoy touring old buildings and homes, and the architecture of the rooms in the old Crocker house is amazing. I'm looking forward to returning again and seeing the rest of the museum and exhibits.
