Crocker Art Museum

Crocker Art Museum Review

The oldest art museum in the American West has a collection of art from Europe, Asia, and California, including Sunday Morning in the Mines (1872), a large canvas by Charles Christian Nahl depicting aspects of the original mining industry, and the magnificent Great Canyon of the Sierra, Yosemite (1871), by Thomas Hill. An expansion completed in 2010 tripled the Crocker's size; it now rivals San Francisco's best art museums in scope if not quite in permanent collections.
