This is an eclectic contemporary art museum of local artists works, in various media. I appreciated the focus on the earth, locals, and people of all backgrounds. This important expressive museum merits more support and expansion. Accessible entry and venue. Accessible paid parking in street. Two hours maximum

This is a very small museum at downtown San jose. Honestly, couldn't relate to the exhibit that was on display. But the museum is free to visit and the staff is very welcoming. Can combine the visit with the quilts and textiles museum next door.
