Oakland Museum of California

The Oakland Museum of California (OMCA) brings together three historically independent disciplines—art, history, and natural sciences—under one roof to celebrate the many facets of California. A collection of more than 1.8 million objects including seminal art works, historical artifacts, ethnographic objects, natural specimens, and photographs is represented across three Galleries and an array of diverse, relevant, and stimulating exhibitions. OMCA has reopened its galleries after a multi-year transformation of the entire building, infusing the exhibitions with new digital media, interactive exhibits and dioramas, engaging interpretive tools, new gathering spaces and program areas, and a diverse offering of educational and outreach programs, encouraging visitors to share their own perspectives, questions, and stories, encouraging visitors to discover their place in California's past, present, and future.
