I definately like what they have done with the museum to honor Steinbeck, the great literary writer from Salinas. But I would not recommend that you visit the museum more than one or two times. I have been there probably five times and know everything that is in the museum. I would not buy a membership, because you will not use it. I had one and never used it the entire year. Although perks do come with your membership. The opening of the new Maya Cinema had a preview three days before it opened, which showed four different films and had free food. The museum is also used for meetins and events.
