The West Coast Museum Tour
I will be travelling this summer. There will be driving and staying
in hotels (the cheaper, the better) and going into museums and looking
at the art contained within the museums and then thinking about the art
and then going to the next museum. The trip will start in San Diego,
California (a six-hour trip from where I live) and end in Vancouver,
British Columbia, and I'll be stopping at as many art museums as I can.
The itinerary is still being worked out, especially the Bay Area
section, but I don't figure to make too many changes. I do want to get
the list down to only the "must sees," so let me know what I can/should
skip. Does anybody know the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento? It's the
one that's closest to dropping off the list.
Speaking of the list, here it is:

tell me that the Crocker isn't worth going to.
