"The Oakland Museum hosts collections and programs that combine art, history and the natural sciences to explore Oakland’s and California’s identities. One of our favorite events is Friday Nights @ OMCA. It’s a happy mix of Off the Grid food trucks, live music, dancing lessons, half-off gallery admission, and more. Whatever you do, don’t miss a stroll through the gardens. The walk pairs well with a ginger tequila cocktail (on Fridays)." - Pitch Interactive

One great way to have a cultural Sunday! A lot to see on history of California from when Spanish discovered this land till Silicon valley garages that gave birth to tech hub that is SF Bay Area! 1st Sunday of each month is free and there are paid special exhibitions as well! The brutalist architecture of the museum has an intriguing contrast with the landscape design of the place! Lovely outdoor & courtyards & live music nights along with a cafe makes it a perfect to-go place for the community!

This was an amazing experience! Maybe the most impressive museum in the Bay Area! Starting from the basement floor there is a wonderful Natural History Museum with a GIGANTIC topographical map of California which I would have marveled over for hours if my friends hadn't dragged me away. 2nd level was the Anthropological History Exhibition 3rd Was one of the most enjoyable and least pretentious Art Galleria that I've ever experienced! Lastly, it had a wonderful California Native Flora Garden ^÷^~

Absolutely Beautiful. I grew up in Oakland. To see all the beautiful renovations they have made to the Oakland Museum, it's incredible. If you have not visited, do so, as soon as possible.

Beautiful, spacious, interesting and justice oriented! My favorite floor is the art floor as it has such variance in styles! Highly recommend for locals, visitors and families! The rotating special exhibits are always exceptional! Plus, they host community events like Friday night music and food truck nights and voter information events:
