A
magnificent,
free
art
museum
that
is
too
little
known
and
still
only
a
few
years
old,
The
Foster
should
be
on
everyone
in
the
bay
areas
list
of
museums
to
visit.
You
could
spend
a
quick
hour
or
several
hours
of
more
in
depth
reading
and
listening
to
the
guided
self-tour.
The
paintings
are
all
by
one
artist,
Tony
Foster,
who
does
a
plein
art
watercolor
style
on
site
at
locations
from
his
home
in
Cornwall
to
the
U.S.
Southwest
to
Chile
to
underwater
Coral
Reefs
to
the
Arctic
to
Nepal
and
the
U.S.
New
England
area.
There
is
a
diversity
of
journeys
and
adventures
that
have
gone
into
each
of
these
paintings,
which
are
some
of
the
best
curated
I've
seen,
including
at
much
larger
and
more
well
known
museums.
There
are
audio
tours
available
on
headset
and
you
can
download
the
link
on
a
cell
phone;
I
highly
recommend
this
as
you
can
listen
to
the
artist
themselves
talk
about
the
experience
of
painting
each
piece.
There
is
linked
YouTube
videos
for
further
information.
If
you
prefer
to
read,
do
read
the
packet
prepared
for
self-guided
tours
and
the
information
below
the
pictures
as
it
adds
much
to
the
experience
of
understanding
not
just
the
picture,
but
the
context
of
when,
where,
how
it
was
created
as
part
of
a
larger
exploration
of
a
wild
place.
The
staff
are
friendly
and
well
informed
and
ready
to
provide
information.
The
facilities
are
clean;
it's
accessible
and
there
are
regular
places
for
rest
and
contemplation
with
benches
scattered
about.
There's
smart
lighting
that
goes
on
and
off
in
sections
as
you
approach
and
leave
areas.
There's
frequent
events
offered
for
both
children
and
adults
and
tours
can
be
arranged.
Free
and
fairly
easy
street
parking
is
available.
Honestly,
there
is
nothing
I
could
critique
here
and
only
encourage
people
to
go.
