HAGGIN MUSEUM

We always love exploring the cities we live in, and Stockton has proved to have some fun and unique places. Since it's such an "old" city, similar to Sacramento, there are beautiful stone and brick buildings everywhere, including the historic Haggin Museum, which is in Victory Park. We visited (and ended up with memberships) a few Saturdays ago after brunch at a local restaurant, and fell in love. The touring exhibit was about to leave, and was all about guitars. Derek was thrilled to look at and learn about so many different guitars through the ages. My favorite was from the 1980's. The display case was empty, and the name of the guitar; "Air Guitar". I died! The museum is well known for it's beautiful hall of European Art, but it is currently under construction and curation. We will be back when it opens in Spring, and I can't wait!
