Pleasantly surprised. Much more interesting than I thought it would be. A great small museum, an asset for the town. I've been to other museums which look like a glorified garage. Not here. Everything is so well presented. The interior of the building modern looking, spacious, clean, and well lit. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Bonus - admission is free if you are a resident. Only criticism is the light reflection off some of the glass/plexiglass cases is very distracting.

This museum is in the heart of Los Gatos by the library and High School. It is a smaller museum, but it has history and class! It was great learning about how the land has changed and the indigenous group that occupied it in the past. It was a really unique, fun and creative place. They have an art contest every year for high schoolers and the winning art work is put into a magazine for the community to view. If you would like a momento, they give you a token in exchange for $5 to put through an old cigarette machine. Each knob you pull, you get a unique piece of art work by different artists!

In a small corner of the city center complex lies this gem. It is a great place to see thought provoking art and a bit of the history of Los Gatos. Young or old can have some fun in the basement activity center. Make a collage and leave it for others to see or create a poem with the magnetic words.

The building was formerly the Town library and has been remodeled to reflect the needs of a true museum. There are several rooms for exhibits, meetings, art classes and receptions. There was a fascinating exhibit on when we visited, memorabilia of alumni and faculty of Los Gatos High School going back to the earliest years of that institution. We had a good look at this small town's proud academic and athletic history. Worth a visit if you find yourself in Los Gatos and in or near the Civic Center where it is located.

Good art museum, loved the art-o-matic (?) machine. Downstairs was a temple to Los Gatos High School sports, which was odd, but LGHS is across the street from here, so...

Its ok, and not really worth $6 but only for the contribution to the arts.
