Oakland's Gem
This museum is devoted to all things from California, but it is truly a gem in the City of Oakland. Come on a Friday night for the food trucks, wander around inside, eat outside. And note when there is a special expo that interests you.

Great museum off the beaten path
We visited this museum on a rainy Sunday after speaking to Oakland residents who had never been. It reminded us of how Brooklyn museums don't get the notice that Manhattan museums do in NYC. It is a very distinctive layout, having areas divided into different subject areas: art, science, natural history. The art section was amazing: a terrific mix of very avant-garde pieces, mixed with traditional mediums, even including some stained glass! It reminded us of the Whitney in NYC. There were places tor interactive experiences which were great, not only for kids, but also for adutls. There was a Burning Man exhibit there which was amazing, showing the history of this amazing festival which has become such a huge project of hope. The weekend we were there, BOA was sponsoring a reduced fee admission which was great! Don't miss this!
