Crocker Art Museum

The Crocker Art Museum will purchase and install new storage racks for its painting collection. The project will also include preparing the paintings for storage in a new climate controlled facility. The museum, founded by gold-rush settlers Judge Erwin Bryant and Margaret Rhodes Crocker, was the first public art museum west of the Mississippi River, and its collection includes European paintings from the 16th-19th centuries, and American paintings including Californian paintings from the Gold Rush to the present.
