A small ceramics museum reviewers say takes about an hour, with its own car park and easy weekend parking. Restrooms are upstairs. The mood is quiet and gallery-like rather than hands-on, and one visitor found a main exhibit closed for renovation, so expect a short, calm visit.
A surprisingly hands-on art museum in the downtown Arts Colony — time it to the free Second Saturday ArtWalk outside.

When for the first time in January and I went while they had a very interesting exhibit happening. I came from OC so traffic was heavy but I arrived with in the last hour before closing which was about the time it took me to get through the whole museum and gift shop. Staff was helpful and friendly. I would return to see another exhibit. They have their own parking garage.

Small but interesting museum. I was the only one there on a Friday afternoon. One of the main exhibits was under renovation when I visited; the one that was open was about Chinese communist ceramics in the time of Mao. The signs did a great job explaining the meaning and context of the works, which came out of such a tragic time in history. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable.
