Overview
The Haggin Museum, an art and history museum, has been referred to by Sunset magazine as “one of the undersung gems of California.” Its art collection features works by such noted 19th-century painters as Albert Bierstadt, Rosa Bonheur, and William-Adolphe Bouguereau, J.C. Leyendecker, as well as many other American and European artists. The Haggin Museum features exhibits on local and regional history, hosts traveling history and art exhibits, and invites the public to special events including late night Thursday events every 1st and 3rd Thursday with wine and food as well as hands-on activities for children ages 5-12 every 2nd Saturday of the month.

We were traveling north in Cali and stopped here to visit this museum. Definitely check it out if you're in the area, it has a good amount of art.
I was not expecting much from a little museum in Stockton, but I was so, so wrong. This place is great! There's a docent there that is also a lawyer who knows quite possibly everything you'd ever need to know about art or the Haggin family. We spent most of our time being led around the fire art area by this man, and he explained colors, angles in the paintings drawing the eye in, identifying what is the most important thing in a work of art, and so much more. He knew about the paintings, the statues, the stories behind some of the artists, tricks artists use to draw your eye in - he was great. He and I talked about art museums in Paris passionately, Monet's house, all sorts of things. I felt very cosmopolitan. He was better than one of those audio guides you can rent at the Louvre. I really appreciated hearing his excitement over the paintings. They also have an interesting display of a trunk that murderess Emma LeDoux put her husband's dead body in after she killed him in 1906. She was planning to ship this whole thing from San Francisco to Stockton, but she forgot to put a destination tag on the trunk and it sat at the train station until it started stinking. It doesn't stink anymore, but still looks to have blood stains on it. The trunk is pretty small, so we had to stand there looking at it to figure out how you'd fit a whole man in there. 10/10. Great museum with an amazing docent!
Great museum. Good architecture, cute gift shop, & beautiful array of art. I especially enjoyed the nature landscapes on the second floor & the local history on the first.
The Haggin Museum in Stockton is a cultural gem! With captivating art and historical exhibits, it offers a delightful journey through time. The architecture is stunning, and the staff is knowledgeable and welcoming. A must-visit for art enthusiasts and history buffs alike!
Beautiful little museum with exquisite artwork and displays. My favorite was the Leyendecker gallery. Under the Mexican Sky was a bit underwhelming. I was expecting to see actual Mexican artist/photographers with a lot of vibrant colors but it was dull. Other than that it was a wonderful experience. Everyone that works there were very nice and knowledgeable.
