A visit to the Crocker

Our home in the city is practically next door to the Crocker Art Museum, but sadly we don't make it there often enough. Since we had time before heading back up the hill we thought we would go.
It has been recently expanded with a whole new giant modern wing (see pic below). They have done a fantastic job, inside and out, with the new blending with the old.

The building on the left is the original Crocker home, and the building on the right is the new modern addition.

Here are some photos of the artwork inside
