Museum of International Folk Art

005
    The main exhibit area in this museum houses the collection of one man, Alexander Girard, an architect and designer. He and his wife donated their folk art collection with the stipulation that the exhibits be displayed in spaces designed by Girard. Houses. People, animals, and plants made of clay, wood, and other materials have been gathered together to make entire village scenes.

    Most of the museum is very accessible. There are a few exhibit cases that are a little high.

    Parking for RVs is available in the overflow lot located across the street from the museum. Part of the lot is gravel so park near the edge. After crossing the street there is a bit of a hill in the main lot. If you have a van or car, there’s plenty of handicapped parking in the main lot. An elevator accesses the plaza where the folk art museum is located. The Museum of Spanish Colonial Art and the Museum of Indian Arts & Culture are also located in the plaza.  Folk Art Museum
