Well worth the drive to view their beautiful collection of ceramics. They lack for space, but don't lack for their utilization of it. Every wall has something to be admired or criticized. Stopped in when their PST exhibit on Kukuli Velarde was up, and had a chance to see their "We The People" and "Mettlach" exhibitions.

Would love to visit again and see in particular their Mesoamerican ceramics. It was complimented well by the Kukulia Velarde exhibition, and I hope in the future they continue to highlight Mesoamerican ceramics and their affects on the works of contemporary artists.Their Mettlach exhibition is unfortunately squeezed into a hallway on the lower floor, but shouldn't be missed. Their main display, on American ceramics and politically-relevant current events show that this institution is not afraid to delve into politically charged areas of analysis.

If you are into Millard Sheets, a beautiful mural extends across one whole wall. It is impossible to take a single picture of the whole piece. Definitely check this out if you are into California regional art.
