5 stars for the early California collection, but the rest isn’t so great.
Crocker Art Museum的点评
点评：This is a fine museum for Sacramento locals (I think it’s the only art museum in Sacramento) and for people interested in early California painting. Indeed, the reason to come here is the collection of early California painting made before about 1950; the display is quite possibly the best there is, with a very strong representation of painting from Northern California and a decent display of art from the southern half of the state as well. The big museums on the coast tend to fold California art into the bigger story of American art, but the Crocker, which seems to lack much in the way of art from the east coast, focuses on California and its kind of cool. Charles Christian Nahl’s scenes of the gold rush kind of steal the show; also great 19th century landscapes and a lovely Agnes Pelton, probably the highlight of the “modern” collection. There’s also a decent collection of decorative arts (ceramics and silver mostly) from early California. This part of the collection gets 5 stars. And very appropriate that it is in the state’s capitol.
The rest of the collection is not very strong, especially for a general art museum in a metro area of 3 million people. To judge from the acquisition numbers, most of what you will see has been purchased or donated in the last 30 years and it’s nice to see that the museum’s collection continues to grow. But for out-of-town visitors without a strong interest in early California painting, there may not be much to see, as most of the rest of the collection is kind of mediocre. Don’t expect to see great masterpieces by any household name artists (no Picasso, Monet, Rembrandt, Warhol, pollock, etc.). Probably the artist with the most name recognition whose work I saw was Renoir, and it’s a very small, sketchy late work that most of the visitors seemed to ignore when I visited.
A few parts of the original Crocker Mansion serve as gallery space and these are probably the most impressive interior spaces at the museum.

翻译：对于萨克拉门托当地人（我认为它是萨克拉门托唯一的艺术博物馆）以及对早期加州绘画感兴趣的人们来说，这是一个绝佳的博物馆。事实上，来这里的原因正是收藏了大约1950年之前的早期加州绘画作品；这里的展览堪称一流，不仅有大量来自北加州的绘画作品，也相当不错地展示了加州南部的艺术作品。沿海地区的大型博物馆往往会将加州艺术融入到美国艺术的宏大叙事中，但克罗克博物馆似乎在东海岸的艺术作品方面有所欠缺，它专注于加州及其独特的魅力。查尔斯·克里斯蒂安·纳尔（Charles Christian Nahl）的淘金热场景画作几乎抢尽了风头；此外，还有一些伟大的19世纪风景画和一幅精美的艾格尼丝·佩尔顿（Agnes Pelton）作品，这或许是“现代”系列的亮点。此外，这里还收藏了相当数量的早期加州装饰艺术品（主要是陶瓷和银器）。这部分藏品值得五星好评。而且，它位于加州首府，也实属恰如其分。
其余藏品则显得平平无奇，尤其对于一个位于人口300万都市区内的综合性艺术博物馆而言。从收藏数量来看，您看到的大部分藏品都是在过去30年内购买或捐赠的，很高兴看到博物馆的藏品持续增长。但对于对早期加州绘画不感兴趣的外地游客来说，可能没什么可看的，因为其余藏品大多平庸。别指望能看到任何家喻户晓的艺术家的杰作（毕加索、莫奈、伦勃朗、沃霍尔、波洛克等等都没见过）。我所看到的作品中，知名度最高的艺术家可能是雷诺阿，但这幅画作尺寸很小，画风简略，大多数游客在我参观时似乎都忽略了它。
克罗克庄园原址的一些区域被用作画廊空间，这些可能是博物馆最令人印象深刻的室内空间。
