The Crocker Art Museum closed in June to complete their $100 million expansion project. The Teel Family Pavilion will bring more space and more opportunity for the public and arts in Sacramento. It will also include a café for dining in Sacramento, a sleek 260-seat auditorium and an art conservation lab for visitors to view art being restored.
During a sneak peak at the Crocker Fundraising Gala, I got a chance to see two new collections: African and Oceanic art. 
This summer the California Sate Fair awarded Crocker Art Museum with The Golden Bear Award for the Arts, to honor their efforts on showcasing art and educating the public.
The highly anticipated opening will be on Sunday, October 10, when the 125,000-square-foot expansion will be open to the public, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
If you are looking for fun things to do in Sacramento that weekend, join the ribbon-cutting ceremony which will kick off an all-day-arts festival and a block party celebration. Enjoy this Sacramento family event with 12 hours of live entertainment, street performers, swing and salsa dance contests, art activities, and much more.
The new Crocker Art Museum will now have the space to showcase their large California art collection and be a Sacramento tourist attraction for art and museum aficionados. 
Don’t miss this the public Grand Opening of Crocker’s Teel Family Pavilion on October 10.
