Description:
The entryway adorned with signs revealing "5680 miles west of the Louvre" and "340 miles north of the Getty," is a clear indication that this is a museum with a sense of style and humor. There are about a dozen new exhibits a year with many focusing on artists from the Bay Area. Recent exhibitions included one that highlighted relics of "questionable origins" and another with photographs from a 1944-46 Siberian expedition. The shop offers contemporary art glass, pottery and fiber art pieces. |

Within more than 25 galleries are a magnificent selection of photography and a strong collection of 18th and 19th century American art. Other holdings include a substantial assortment of Mediterranean antiquities, and a fabulous sculpture garden. |
