The Green Guide
The Michelin Guide's review
This small museum contains two large rooms, the first of which is devoted to contemporary art exhibitions and the second to the city's history from the mid-16C to the present day. Objects, costumes and furniture provide insights into the successive waves of immigration: Spanish, American (former English settlers become Americans), Chinese, Japanese and then European minorities. In the courtyard behind the museum are two adobe buildings dating from the 19C.
