    An exceptional museum for such a small town and somewhat remote place. Wonderful displays, special shows, friendly staff and an inexpensive entrance fee- a real jewel in Ukiah.

    I visited this on a Sunday and there were just 4 visitors including me. As I used to paint in oils three decades ago and also an acolyte of Native American Art by Grace Carpenter Hudson, it was a day well spent. All original art exists in this small space, but you can also check out her 2,400 sq ft house that has her studio. Her father A O was a famous photographer and the entry to the museum begins with the family tree followed by A O’s photos and then you enter the paradise. The curator is a friendly woman who is honest about what she knows. There is also a space showcasing Pomo baskets. I did not visit the garden where plants used by natives are grown as it was getting late. There is also a shop selling souvenirs, books connected to Grace’s art. This is strictly for serious people who love history or art. Bringing in kids will not work as there are no restaurants or stands.

    I visited the Museum on Wednesday, January 29th. Almost didn’t get a tour of the Sun House, but through kindness of Alyssa had a chance to get immersed in the atmosphere where Grace lived and created.
    The grounds are well kept and very spiritual, and the gallery has the most amazing art piece, the central of which is, of course, The Nattional Thorn.
    I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in learning about the native people of Northern California through the eyes of a compassionate to their plight individual.

    Incredible museum! Never heard of Grace before entering and left with chills feeling amazed at her life and legacy. Extremely talented artist with a beautiful heart. Used her talents to do good and leave this world better than she found it.

    Hidden gem in Ukiah. Quite interesting to learn about Grace Hudson’s story and art. Also check out for any special exhibits. I was lucky enough to see on Sea weed.
