Top notch museum with a unique mix of new and old. Upon entering the staff person gave us a complete rundown of what we were to see which enhanced the visit tremendously. Enjoyed the Old California rich paintings and blown away by the photos of Jim Kasson, a superb collection of large format images. Worth going to the museum just for his photography. Not your old musty dully museum, lots happening in those historic walls. Highly recommend
