Museum of Craft and Folk Art

Fodor's Review:

If you're in the area, this one-room museum is a great way to spend a half hour. This bright space hosts five rotating exhibits per year showcasing American folk art, tribal art, and contemporary crafts. One exhibit saw the museum transformed into a forest of paper, all created by hand from plants, trees, and river water by an artisan in Japan. Another was devoted entirely to the art of the ukulele. Its tiny front space houses a shop with high-end, sometimes whimsical crafts from around the world.
