A wonderful eclectic collection of paintings, sculpture, and functional art. The staff is knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. There is also a nice museum store. The day we visited the museum, it was hosting a free art class. There is plenty of public parking nearby.

I am not a surfer, but my son is. We paid him a visit on the west coast, and decided to stop in here when we were exploring. Pleasant surprise!! Amazing exhibits, informative staff, and cool gift shop! Loved it. If you're a surfer, and even if you're not, it's well worth the visit to check out some of the memorabilia and cool stories behind them.

I came to see the model railroad, but was very pleased to find they had an active blacsmith shop with students actively working on their projects. The smell of the forge got my attention, and when I went inside, it was wonderful. Dark, a little smokey, and people hammering away. I visited on the weekend and there was not much else going on except for the forge and model railroad. During special events I think there is food available.
