I really am sorry to be a downer but this Museum sucks. It is literally one room with a partition in the middle that you walk around. The only thing worth seeing there is Ishis artifacts, the Egyptian sarcophagus and the Greek pottery. I didnt mind spending the $6 a person to go see ishi artifacts however, they dont have them all out. That was the only reason we went to this Museum. At the time I was there they only had out the arrowheads he made of glass. The funny thing is theres a sign on the wall talking about how they have 3.8 million artifacts. When we asked for these were we were told they were under the museum and they only bring them out if you would have time. We were very disappointed. Im sure glad we didnt drive farther than we did to go.

Worth seeing if you have nothing else to do. Very small museum with no real theme. The curation really needs work. Some interesting pieces but the presentation seems contrived in a bad way. Feels like a bunch of Berkeley students went on a backpacking trip without knowing that they will be forced to put pieces for this museum.
