| The
Richardson Romanesque portion of this building in downtown
San Jose CA, located next to the Fairmont Hotel, dates
back to the late nineteenth century, when it served
as the post office of San Jose. The other half, a modern
addition, was built in the early 1990s.
The museum offers a great combination of new and old.
It focuses on twentieth and twenty-first century artworks,
with an emphasis on West Coast artists. There's something
new going on at the San Jose Museum of Art almost every
day, whether it's lectures, poetry readings, events
for children, classes, or concerts.
Docent tours are available and the collection is constantly
changing.
Best of all, it's centrally located in downtown San
Jose and it's free.
