Museum of Craft and Design

We used the student ticket. It’s only 8 dollar per person. The museum was quite small, but at the end of that, they have the handmade section, you can use more time over there.

We had this lovely, small museum all to ourselves on a Thursday afternoon. $10 entry for an excellent exhibit and fun store. Parking can be a little difficult here, but we found a spot.

Currently displaying a curated exhibit called "Designing Peace," which features multimedia pieces from international artists about global issues. I had a semi-guided tour that concluded with a crafts session where we made our own mini dioramas. I enjoyed this portion a lot. The layout of the exhibit is very interesting and allows for guests to roam and see every art piece. The staff is knowledgeable and happy to share more about the work and the museum if asked. They have "Pay What You Can Wednesdays," which I recommend if you have the time.

Friendly staff. Very small - no more than an hour or so to see it all. Critically dependent on the exhibition, but we went to see Beau McCall (the Button Man) exhibition and it was superb. Delighted I went.

As someone who comes from a war-torn country, I was genuinely moved by “Designing peace” exhibit.Some of the highlights include: - a phone app designed to assist people in war-torn countries locate shelter, food, medical supplies ( in multiple languages) - Handbags designed for refugees fleeing conflicts - 2 street block wide street signs “Black lives matter” - A 13-story tower designed specifically for post-war countries - “Regreening Africa” initiative - a Rug made of bullets The gift shop offers distinctive items that are perfect for those seeking unique and memorable gifts. Located in the Dogpatch district, the museum is surrounded by a variety of dining options. Some notable establishments include Souvla, known for its delicious cuisine, a wood-fired organic bagel shop, and a bakery that offers delectable treats like crème brûlée-style croissants.

Appreciate a place for local arts; it’s something missing in SF, for most part of the town. however, as a designer by training, I have to say, the overall quality is very very low. Some of the exhibition is hard to watch, simple ugly and/or silly. The place is tiny - went through everything in 15min. Overall, It’s not even worth the $10 ticket… the best part of this place, in my opinion, is the bathroom, which is pretty neat. guys, we gotta have better stuff locally, something that’s prettier and more interesting than this. Also the whole gift shop is overpriced with low quality stuff… Also also, the staff acted strangely… very indifferent and somehow rude…

Sweet, small museum. More of a gallery. Definitely thoroughly check the exhibit descriptions before you plan your trip. There are 2 seasonal exhibits and no permanent collections. While I visited, The Object In It’s Place and Living With Scents were on display. Object wasn’t my thing, was super curation-focused and just wasn’t for me. If you love sculpture would be great for you! I loved the Scents exhibit. Very interesting and thoughtful, a bunch of different artists were tasked on thinking about scent as design. So interesting to read and experience the scents themselves. Even with Covid and being masked, it was interactive and I experienced the scents. The objects were beautiful, funny, serious, thought-provoking. I loved how everything was so different. I brought back to my own graphic design practice the installation design, the fact that it made me think about the way that others experience my work in all senses, and the flow of the exhibit itself. It was a pretty short visit, I read everything and was pretty paced and detailed, about 40 minutes for me! Beautiful shop with lots of nice books as well.

TLDR: not worth the price of admission, the design peace exhibit wasn’t very innovative either: I spent less than an hour here and I read through every exhibit. Designing peace combined with a museum of craft and design led me to believe there’d be huge designs of architecture or other structural design used but instead there was a little bit of software, a little bit of street painting for BLM, and Dutch students coliving with new immigrants, some peace but hardly any design.

While this museum is small - it's always very interesting. A lot of interesting and eclectic exhibits. The gift shop is amazing - I could go crazy here!

This museum is in the Dogpatch neighborhood and walking distance from Chase Center and Oracle Park. On Wednesdays, they have something called "Pay What You Can Wednesdays" where you can check out the museum for free. They have a donation box at the exit of the museum. The current exhibit is titled "Neon as Soulcraft", which was my first time seeing an entire exhibit devoted to neon lights. As someone who likes reading descriptions at museums, I spent about 30 minutes, so it's something that won't take too long. I really enjoyed the combination of art and science, and appreciated how they provided background information on the artists and their inspiration. I won't go too in depth so that you can check out the exhibit for yourself! *Verdict: The lady at the entrance was so friendly! She took the time to explain what "Pay What You Can Wednesdays" was and offered to answer any questions. There's a new exhibit every few months, so I look forward to coming back in the future!

Yes, as many people have noted, this is a small museum. However, the current Designing Peace exhibit pushes the viewers to consider how design (of any kind) can create peace. It challenges us to rethink things we know. I appreciate how the works in this exhibit include art, craft and design from all around the world. Pushing, perhaps, some of us out of our comfort zones in order to consider our neighbour and our responsibilities and place in the world. I quite enjoyed this thought-provoking show. The museum is spacious and bright, and has a very accessible set of washrooms. I went in December and there was a small amount of visitors coming in and out - and we still had enough room to move about. Near the front entrance is their gift shop filled with goods of all kinds by local makers. Admission is reasonable for the calibre of work and the space. For those who do not frequent such museums may think this is too expensive, but I think it is suited. However as an option, they do offer Pay What You Can admissions on Wednesdays!

Exhibition was mid No music, dead silent The bathrooms were great Traffic outside was distracting

Our second time here and it is worth the trouble to find the museum. The neighborhood is a lot of fun as well. I have no problem with the fees ($10 for adult, $8 for 65+) and there is a lot to take in. You can easily spend and hour or two in this small space if you stop and read. The gift shop is worth the trip as it has some really nice things. We will return the next time we are in SF (early 2024, I hope).

I guess I'm not a crafty person because I don't shop at Design Within Reach...or even Daiso. I was kinda surprised to discover that this museum was relocated from an even smaller space. Why? Because it still felt small for a single eyebrow-raising $10 admission, just two rooms, each dedicated to a design theme. One was focused on scents so it was interactive to some degree - meaning you're supposed to smell stuff. The other room was an exhibit of art objects that provide context in the spaces they are specifically placed. That was it. The large gift shop was almost a third room in itself with plenty of knick-knacks to consider for your own home. If you are inclined toward thoughtful design planning, there are elements to enjoy here, but I think it's definitely for a niche audience. Me not do much. RELATED - Exploring Dogpatch? Here's a collection of places I've visited and reviewed: https://bit.ly/2LXfohU

I visited (and Yelp bookmarked) the Museum of Craft and Design on March 8, 2018, not long after my parents, brother, brother's partner, brother's daughter, and I visited the David Ireland House (https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-david-ireland-house-san-francisco-2?hrid=tBClXofkO-nYNZrVG4SdVA&utm_campaign=www_review_share_popup&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=(direct)). Yes, it was during the Dreaded 11 Days, and yes, I believe the David Ireland House is haunted, but no spectral harm befell me that rainy late-winter day in San Francisco, and I was soon spending my forty-_____ birthday alive and well in Chicago. Almost six years later, I now live frightfully close to the David Ireland House. This all has everything to do with the Museum of Craft and Design. See, I had just seen the odd life's work and living space of a beloved San Francisco conceptual artist; and now I was visiting a craft-and-design museum with an architect, two product designers, and a future spectacular artist. I couldn't help compare what I had seen with a museum dedicated, at least partially, to the same subject. Like usual, the artist won. I don't want to get into questions of ability and pedagogy and how they're related and often in tension, and the museum's gift shop is lovely and contains some really nice books and sketches and small pieces of art. But the museum is a disappointment, and not just because I had just been to another larger museum. It's a small space, so I wasn't expecting much, but they waste a great deal of the available space. This might be a design choice on the museum's part, and it is all the rage even in San Francisco restaurants and coffeehouses with expensive by-the-foot commercial leases to use the available space as inefficiently as possible. Still, that's a design choice, and it's a bad one. I would have liked to see more exhibits. If it billed itself as an art or craft or design gallery, it would probably garner four stars. As a museum, it's too small and uses its limited space poorly.

Cool little museum with some design elements and some robots. Worth a walk through to enjoy.

The museum itself is fine--clean and well-maintained--but the atmosphere is... weirdly silent. Like, eerily quiet. No background music, no ambient noise, just the sound of your own footsteps and the train outside. It makes the whole experience feel kind of awkward and sterile. I get wanting a calm vibe, but some soft music could really help bring the place to life. On the plus side, the bathrooms are spotless--probably the highlight of my visit. Hope they consider making the space a little more inviting.

This is a small venue, with a great mission & thought provoking artwork. The exhibit they hosted was called Designing Peace. I appreciated the craftwork, message & artistry on all the pieces. It brought me to tears hoping to create a better future for our kids. This is Juxtaposed with a space for kids to share their voices thru crafts. The staff is super friendly. This place is a hidden gem!

Small museum but enjoyed the exhibits that they had. The docents were very nice and helpful and a great gift shop with local artisans featured. We spent about 45 minutes and went on the Wednesday pay what you like day. Worth a visit if you've never been.

While the content is very interesting and I enjoyed the exhibits, it sure is depressing. I had misunderstood the concept of this museum, as I thought there would be more "craft" and less "trauma victim" clothing. Again, great exhibits, but don't go here if you're planning on smiling for the next hour. I liked the interactive exhibit at the end where you write notes and put it on the timeline. I also found the "police brutality" outfit very interesting. Service was fine and we got in free due to a coupon for being broke.

I came here on a free museum day and thankfully I did. I don't think it's worth the entry fee. Perhaps I'm not super artsy, but we went through the museum which is only ~2.5 rooms in about 30 mins. Come by if you're looking for something to do, but otherwise I think there's other museums that are more worth it in the city. Staff is super kind though and otherwise it's very clean and street parking can be found easily.

People who think this museum isn't worth it aren't local to a big city. Cause I've been to New York and paid at least this much for a museum with the same amount in it. The idea is that your fees help support the museum paying the artist to host their work! Small museum, 2 artists at a time, lesser known but you want them to be able to afford to live, equals a higher admission fee. So it goes. I spent about 50 minutes in here, not including conversations with the staff (since I showed up literally at the door unlocking at 10, we all chatted for a few). You have the front room transitioning into the back room with one exhibitor's art, and a second room with a second artist on the other side. In this case, there was a back room workshop open for you to create your own thing - or you could ask for a take-home kit. Which I did for my friend. So that's a little bit of your admission back! The art all came with full explanations, video interviews, so you have time to peruse this and actually learn about what you're seeing. If you just look at objects and move on, you're missing out on what you paid for. Finally, I'll note that two walls of the sale area are all artwork that you can buy for yourself - glass, ceramics, figurines, etc. - so you can actually spend time looking at those as well! All in all, it's a solid small-time museum experience. I'm an engineer, so presentations and artwork focused on things that are put together and engineered was appealing to me. The number of low-star reviews disappoints me. I would at least go once for the experience and glad I did.

Previous Yelpers nailed the description spot on when they said this place was mainly a gift shop with some art displays. I checked this out on Smithsonian's Museum Day 2018. Free admission was nice and it gave me a good opportunity to check it out. I would have been very disappointed had I paid full price. Overall, it is a cozy space. About the size of one small warehouse loft sectioned into 3 areas. On this particular day there were 2 exhibits and the gift shop. This is not an art review so I will not comment specifically on the exhibits. Parking can be a difficult. Hipster location near ice cream and coffee.

This museum is a smaller museum and not a big space, but fun to visit. It's in the Dogpatch area. That's near Potrero Hill and it's passed the Mission. The museum had a main exhibit of architecture and climate change. They had some photos and some videos. It was rather strange and I wasn't sure what I was looking at. It's a mix between art gallery and museum. They have a small gift shop. It's a neat visit and adds to the gallery museum scene of SF.

Tiny museum that is not worth the cost, skip it. The current exhibit on homelessness is quite interesting though. There are some interesting solutions designed to quickly set up shelter and to provide warmth.

Swung by first time on a weekday evening. Free admission day (First Tues of month). Highlights include: - Fun, large, various collection of design books from all over the world in the museum store. Ranging from Architecture, Fabrics design, Furniture design, Graphics Design, to basic Engineering & Coding. It's an amazing set of knowledge & shot of creative juice! Personal favorite is a Danish/ Japanese-inspired furniture book, featuring independently-designed children playhouses, couches, multi-functional desks & paint sets, and themed restaurants across the globe. What an inspirational find! -The children section is very well-thought-out. Interactive toys & workbooks are educational and design-y! - The exhibition itself was very small (as expected from reading other yelp reviews). Current exhibit is showcasing benches, luggages, and woodworks that portray an artist voice & concept. Nothing too impressive or unconventional. A very quick walk-through takes about 5 minutes only. - Staff is very friendly & helpful! Offered to help store my backpack as well as a pleasant, casual convo. - Hope they showcase more stuff in the future.

This place is really interesting! Really small though but its nice to go for a little while while walking through the neighborhood! Also the little shop also has bay area-ish items that are really fun

Didn't expect the Museum of Craft and Design to charge $8 admission fee for a fairly small exhibition area with not many exhibits. I love visiting museums to appreciate arts by various artiste, usually I will read the description provided next to the art to understand how and why it was made but it didn't take me long to finish the tour in 10 minutes. Hmm...will I be back for the next batch of exhibits? I doubt so. I don't mind paying to get in a museum but it better be worth it.

I liked this museum better when it was at the old location on Sutter near Mason. I went to this location recently and didn't spend too much time there. The exhibit was ok, wasn't really clear what it was about actually. We walked around but then left shortly after. I'm still scratching my head about it.

This museum was on my to-go list for a while. I've always appreciated good design especially in architecture. I admire and respect the architect's philosophy behind his/her works but I don't think museum did a good job at telling a cohesive story. I went during the Architectural Pavilion gallery and it made me feel like I wanted more. It seemed like displaced messages here and there without much explanation for the layman. I think they could do a better job at telling a story throughout the gallery. While the gift shop is pretty neat, that shouldn't be one's favorite part of the museum.

B. & I went to the Museum of Craft & Design Grand Opening Day Sat 4/6/13. We took the 22 Muni bus from the Mission (get off 20th St & walk 2 short blocks), but you can take the T-Train Sunnydale Line from Muni Downtown SF underground stops & get off either 20th St or 23rd St stop. It's in the Dogpatch so afterwards you can get ice cream at Mr & Mrs. Misc. or eat at Serpentine or Hard Knox Cafe. They had a ribbon cutting & some specials, then let the public in. They allowed us to take pics, that was great. Depends on the artist so not always are we allowed. Exhibits going on now thru 6/23/13: Michael Cooper: A Sculptural Odyssey 1968-2011 - cool sculptures, many made entirely out of wood. Arline Fisch: Creatures From the Deep - knitted & crotcheted jellyfishes! I got to meet the artist, that was cool. Rebecca Hutchinson: Affinity - art that looked like tree branches, kinda neat. They had a kids area to decorate their own wooden car, that looked fun. They have about 4 unisex bathrooms & sinks outside the bathrooms. 2 red drinking fountains. There's a gift shop. They even had a voucher to either get Banh Mi, or Hot dog, or Kara's Cupcake. I got a pork banh mi. It was pretty good. Hrs: Sun 12-5 Closed Mon T-Sat 11-6, open late Th until 7pm Website: http://www.sfmcd.org/

It is very small and the exhibition is quite limited. Does not worth the admission fee at all.

Definitely happy with this space, cozy little museum & gift shop. It was pretty quick to walk through but the exhibit was clearly carefully curated and I enjoyed the variety of mediums represented. Very friendly staff, following covid guidelines.

I'm so sad, I was really looking forward to coming here for months and was left feeling disappointed and underwhelmed. I'm not going to knock the art installation too much because art is subjective, but wow- the most exciting part about this place was the gift shop up front. There's two rooms with the exhibits and another small room which was closed off for a private event. Initially we were promised a craft to complete when we were done viewing the exhibit, but we were told that wasn't available and "we caught them on an off time." My guess was that it was supposed to be that small room that wasn't available. Bonus stars are for the cool gift shop and the friendly staff, but that's about it.

This small museum is a real gem. (It's located in Dogpatch which worth walking around. Amazing transformation in just a few years from shuttered factories to tech / urban scene.) The museum hosts great artists. We saw Al Farrows work. Just amazing. See the photos. The museum is new, and focuses on design . (The bathrooms are super clean.)

What a wonderful museum and unique gift shop! It is rather small in size, making your visit quite short, but as they rotate exhibits every few months, there is always something new to see. It's great for young kids as well. The gift shop is free to browse and packed full with gifts for anyone and every occasion. The staff was very friendly and helped me to pick out a lovely necklace. I highly recommend just stopping in to shop, I always find something new!

I love museums and value them and the effort the curators put on them. Sometimes, though, they disappoint, and one of those was this Museum of Craft and Design so heavily publicized in the city (you can see the promotional signs everywhere in the Financial district). Since an Italian colleague from London was visiting, I thought where else to go but to a design museum. Not worth the admission price in my opinion (glad that we went for free, First Tuesday of the month). First thing you see is the gift shop, when you don't even have time to see what it is inside. The exhibition we saw was terrible, very depressing subject (war and company) and the art representing the topic was non attractive to us. I agree that a museum does not have to contain a multitude of objects but I saw little design and not so much craft. Deceived.

Pretty neat little space they have going on over here. Came in free for the Wine Walk event that was going on over the weekend otherwise I probably would've glanced over this spot and walked on by. The space isn't large by any means and I'm not sure what constitutes a museum anymore but I conjure up thoughts of the Cal Academy or MOMA, which this is just barely a room in one of those museums- albeit to say, it's still quite innovative what they have going on providing space to local artists and craftsmen to display their work. While here it was focused on work that brought attention to our veterans and one piece that struck me was one created from old military jackets and made into a mural of sorts resembling a golden wave- with the caption that every single piece of the mural represents the suicides that occur for veterans which is a sad fact but duly represented by the art and poignant to bring up in the viewers minds. Really great art. Not sure about the fees to get in but their shop is free to browse and pretty neat.

You really should check this place out. Not if you're going to get all offended that they collect a reasonable admission fee ($8 and discounted for students) - to check out the exhibit. The day I went the exhibit was the History of Felt. You know, felt. they make hats out of it? and maybe you made crafts projects out of when you were a kid? That was the exhibit that day. that's it. my main quibble: It wasn't entirely clear what was OK to touch and what was not - some places it was obvious but elsewhere said 'Please do not touch' and other places I guessed. But I spent almost an hour learning about felt and I am not even kidding you. AND - my companion that day has visited with me similarly small museum/exhibits in Buenos Aires, or maybe it was Madrid? he loves them, but only for literally 10 minutes, so then he has a coffee while he waits for me. Here? i had to pull him away, which I really did not expect. the gift shop is free to browse if you're in the neighborhood for the food or something, and there were a surprising number of suitable small unique not-cheap gifts to take to people elsewhere.

As a graphic designer, I was really excited to finally visit. But, I felt deceived: this "museum" is more like a gallery with a nice gift shop and friendly staff. In fact, I've been to galleries bigger than this place. If you really want to visit, know that you probably need only ten minutes to see the whole place, and a few more to browse the gift shop.

This place strikes me as a gift shop for adult children. I had a hard time relating to the Design by Time Exhibit. I think some pieces were very thoughtful, but others looked like (and were) created by students in art school that seemed to be still figuring out their voice. This is not a slight on the artists but I question how well curated their exhibits are.

LOVELOVELOVE'd this place! A great small space to see some very meaningful art. There is an exhibit going on now of all Armed Services Vet's work...it's beyond MOVING. There is another small gallery inside, but the lights weren't functioning in that space so they had it closed. This was fine as I could have stayed in the main space for hours with the Vet's work. There's also a great little gift shop, which was an added bonus. I will most def be visiting again when I'm in the city next, as it's a super easy trip down the T line on muni from downtown! Normally admission is $8 for adults (if I remember correctly)

Man I can't believe the admission this place charges. I suppose hipsters enjoy the whole "hand made crafts" but it's two rooms and a postage sized gift shop. I waked in and didn't see and signs about admission and wasn't greeted by anyone. Just skip in.

Just stopped by their opening day! I don't think I'd ever been to the old space, but this is definitely a nice addition to the neighborhood. Nice high-ceiling industrial space, currently with one large, L-shaped gallery, plus a couple of alcoves off of it. Museum shop at the entry, with typical offerings. It definitely requires some deliberateness to visit, but one can make a nice Dogpatch day of it, with all the restaurant offerings and old waterfront buildings about.

This museum had been on my list to visit for about a year, and we finally went a few weeks ago. It looked promising, awesome even, from the desk and gift shop area, but we were dismayed to see just how small the exhibit space was: two rooms that I would guess were not more than 2000 sq ft total. The exhibits on display at the time were more craft-y than design-y for my tastes, so I was especially disappointed in the value for the $8 admission. So glad I didn't take my out-of-town guests as I had intended to earlier this summer. My advice to others would be to check their website for current exhibitions to make sure it's something that grabs you.

Unfortunately I came to this museum when they were changing exhibits. And for that I have to say that there was no notice or even a sign that had indicated this. Although admission was free, I was here on a school trip so it would have been nice to know that we would only see a cubical sized exhibit. Also the person who sat at the register of their "gift shop" was less than helpful. She was not very acknowledgeable about ANYTHING! This was jus a horrible experience and I will never go to this museum ever again.

I went to the MCAD on a Sunday morning, shortly after they opened. Like other reviewers, I will echo that for the price of an adult ticket ($8), the museum could have been bigger. However, the exhibits were great and the small size made it very manageable to see literally everything in a short visit. Overall, the exhibits are interesting and varied. There were two "interactive" exhibits when I visited: a large wicker nest thing that you could sit in, and a monkey toy that answered yes or no questions. My favorite exhibit was one where the artist used found objects to make all his exhibits. You could stare at a piece for a long time and still not see all the knickknacks he used. I also happened to go at a time where someone who was affiliated with the museum was giving a tour to his friends, so I lingered near them to hear him talk. The museum gift shop is almost an exhibit in it of itself. Many cute and interesting things to peruse (though all of it very pricey, and I purchased nothing). They did have a free metalsmithing magazine that I took home to peruse. Overall, a cute museum that is worth at least one viisit. If visiting again, I would make sure that all the exhibits were fully rotated out so to get the most out of my money.

Note, Students (with ID) get to pay $6 instead of regular $8 for adults! I popped by while I was in the Dogpatch district, and this Museum looked interesting. When you walk in, you immediately see the 'giftshop' area. This place is pretty tiny, the entire 'museum' being as large as maybe one (or even smaller than) display room in SF MOMA. They had many furniture displays, primarily works of Herman Miller. You get to sit in the famous Embody chair, and I must admit it was pretty comfy. Their bathroom area is very cute and stylish, using white and black as contrasts. I think just visiting the giftshop (which you don't have to pay admission for) is good enough for a short visit. They have jewelry made by local artisans (a bit pricey though!) and cute design items.

I went to the Wool show for work, and was really blown away by the blend of information, artistic installation and touch and feel exhibits. It's like art museum meets exploratorium. Look out for the gift shop, it is stuffed full of intensely cool tchotchkies and books, it's very dangerous....

This was a happenstance meeting on the way to dogpatch boulders. I say, oh wow, what is that, lets go in there. Man, I am happy we did. It is a great little museum. I felt like we were in NY and not in SF. There was a world class exhibit by , wait let me look up his name, Michael Cooper. I had never heard of him, but I am so glad I know him now. Cool stuff. The staff were friendly, the museum layout made for a nice 10-20 min adventure and you exit through the giftshop.

Somewhere between a gift shop and a museum. It's really small so there's not really that much to look at. Definitely don't plan on spending a full day here. The gift shop is also pretty pricey, although everything is local and it looks well made. It's cool to see old products like this in the middle of one of the biggest high tech cities in the world. The neighborhood was surprisingly fun. Lots of cool restaurants around, I'd never been to that part of the city before. I'd recommend parking on 22nd St between Illinois and the water. Everything else was completely full but that street had lots of spaces available.

We came for a visit a few weeks ago when visiting the Dogpatch. Overall, reasonable on a free ticket day. However, we found the museum to be incredibly small, only two exhibits. Overall took less than 30 minutes to see the whole thing. The gift shop was interesting to browse and had more to see than the exhibits themselves.

Fun, innovative, friendly and helpful staff. And a museum you can experience in an hour or all day without feeling overwhelmed! There are also lots of events like lectures, and programs for families and children. And the gift shop really is the best...

I enjoyed the free admission day, but I'm not sure how I would feel paying for the experience. Maybe because it was a free admission day, I felt like the staff didn't seem interested in engaging with the public so I wasn't sure who to ask about for more information on the exhibit.

What is up with this place? Every time I come by, they're closed. I thought they had this big opening and then after that they appear to always be closed. When we did finally get in, the whole exhibit was kind of confusing and small. I thought it was going to be a lot bigger, but you can't really spend more than about 10 minutes in there. The space was surprisingly dirty and not in the best neighborhood. Also, you should allocate a long time to finding parking, it was nearly impossible when we went at 1 in the afternoon. Pretty lackluster.

As a community center it is awesome. Their evening events for 21+ are really fun ways to spend a night with a friend crafting, having a glass of wine, and a few snacks. If you are local get on their mailing list! The museum itself is a bit small.

Good curators/selections, including within the little shop. I do wish there was more information on the pieces. Also, calling it a "museum" feels misleading since the space is too small to hold any permanent display of a collection (one big room split by whatever little temporary divider). Anytime I go there w/newbies, this is ALWAYS their complaint. Meeting expectations before they go downhill is huge for success. I purchased a membership, but I won't renew next year bc I don't think I'll be able to get my worth out of it (other than it being a donation). The classes they hold are only about every other Saturday which is when I work. The occasional Sunday event would be nice.
