We know what we like - and often it's not modern design - and we liked this museum.
(See the guy taking a self-photo with his girlfriend and the Crocker name)
The Crocker has forever been housed in an old Victorian mansion belonging to Edwin Crocker, attorney for the Central Pacific when it built the Transcontinental Railroad across the U.S. in Abraham Lincoln's time. The new addition opened in autumn 2010 to stories like this in The San Francisco Chronicle and Los Angeles Times and another in the Architecture Reviewed Blog. Project architects Gwathmey Siegel & Associates have their own Crocker page.
Here's more pictures from inside: (I didn't take any in the galleries, which were open and spacious. The place was crawling with security who looked like they'd frown on that. The links above, though, have plenty).
