The California Museum for history, women & the arts is located in the California Secretary of State Archives building. The recently exhibit was "Art & Advocacy: To Be Developmentally Disabled" in the Maria Shriver gallery. They have the California Hall of Fame and the "Health Happens Here" display. There are some Mickey Mouse statues. This museum is accessible from the Archives Plaza Regional Transit light rail station.

Very fine state museum. It has many permanent exhibits on California culture, including the California Sesquicentennial Quilt, which my mother worked on for 2000. They also have a large gallery for good quality traveling exhibits. I saw "Hollywood Film Noir" which was excellent. This means its a place worth keeping an eye an, as you never know what theyll have next.

I came to this Museum on a weekday and it was nearly empty. Besides my party there was only 2 other people visiting the museum. Some of the exhibits were interesting some of them were not. Most of the exhibits are not permanent so depending on what is being displayed it may or may not be worth going to the museum.

Very confusingly laid out. Theres no *order* to any of the exhibits nor the museum as a whole. Its just kindof a disorganized chaotic mess of information. Some of the content was interesting--but it was so exhausting finding it and understanding it that my wife and I didnt stay long.

They have a good long-term exhibit on the Japanese internment period during World War II. Currently there is also a very interesting small exhibit on the Sacramento Japantown that was destroyed during the redevelopment of the downtown during the sixties.

The history on offer is amazing, from Hollywood and glitzy Olympics to prior Governor elections and the sad persecution of minorities - everything is covered. And the annual Day of the Dead party is a great event

Very cool, and informative. Broad spectrum of exhibits & live performances. Great way to spend the day and get informed at the same time! Come & learn more about the great state of California!

Spacious and not overwhelming or pretentious. Staff members are friendly. Nice that there are benches throughout for short breaks.

Small but very interesting. Went to see the Japanese Internment exhibitwhich is dynamite. But there is much more to this museum.

Decent informative exhibits on the identity of California and its people. Capitol building is better, though.

Nothing too spectacular but an interesting way to learn a few things and kill an hour or two in Sacramento.
