Rita LJanuary 11, 2017Nice 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.
RubySeptember 12, 2015I 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!!
Ashley DuvalJanuary 1, 2015I 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.
Cordula Sturm DahalApril 24, 2017The 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!
RAD MooseSeptember 23, 2016The Crocker expanded a few years ago and has even more great local art and history inside. A must for anyone in or visiting Sacramento
Thuy TonnuNovember 1, 2013If 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.- Frank DieboldSeptember 6, 2015Check out the David Ligare exhibit, "California Classicist"... stunning representation of natural light
Robert NashJuly 26, 2012Great museum. A lot of artwork here. Great selection of international art to. Its also a learning experience.
TWO MEN AND A TRUCKFebruary 4, 2013This is the premier art museum in Sacramento. With exhibits that continually change, the selection of art never gets old.
LisaDecember 27, 2013The museum cafe is great, and the portions are large. Lots of seasonal offerings.
Ken FineNovember 8, 2010The newly expanded Crocker has the best collection of modern and contemporary ceramics I've seen anywhere -- check out the collection.
Francisca Diana FloresSeptember 26, 2011If you plan on bringing a backpack make sure to bring 50 cents to store it in a locker. No backpacks allowed in the museum.
Rachel OlsonFebruary 11, 2013I could go here a million times in a row and state at each piece of art for hours.
Robert ShayeJune 13, 2012Through Labor Day 2012, active duty military + one guest get in free! Awesome museum.
