Museum of Craft and Folk Art

The Museum of Craft and Folk Art provides innovative exhibitions and educational programs that are designed to connect with and inspire diverse communities. As the only folk art museum in Northern California, the museum is known for a rich offering of focused and unique exhibitions of traditional and contemporary folk art and craft from around the world — demonstrating how folk art, contemporary craft, and fine art are all part of the same continuum.

The Museum presents innovative and enlightening exhibitions that challenge conventional definitions of art. Changing exhibitions are complemented by a gift shop featuring handmade objects respecting the Museum's focus. The Museum of Craft & Folk Art School Program offers hands-on presentations that introduce Bay Area children to the central role of folk art in traditional cultures around the world.
