Beautiful baskets. The exhibit honors the native traditions and modern natives from the area around Chico college. The exhibit was small, one room, but pretty well curated, free, and good for reflection on natural materials, arts, and local history. (great for visiting parents or students with an extra long lunch break)

Great museum! There is incredible art and great things to learn and experience. Kids can enjoy it although I didn't see any hands on exploration for kids. I think adults would typically get more out of this museum. The museum is small but the art I have seen there thus far is incredible.

Through April and a bit into May 2019 is an incredible art presentation with 3D glasses, movement and glow in the dark. It's an incredible experience. If you happen to see this review before May 2019 I would highly recommend you...
