Oakland Museum of California

The Oakland Museum of California (OMCA) brings together collections of art, history and natural sciences under one roof to tell the extraordinary stories of California and its people.

OMCA connects collections and programs across disciplines, advancing an integrated, multilayered understanding of this ever-evolving state. With more than 1.8 million objects, OMCA is a leading cultural institution of the Bay Area and a resource for the research and understanding of California's dynamic cultural and environmental heritage.

The mission of the Oakland Museum of California is to inspire understanding and empathy with stories and experiences of California’s art, history, and natural environment to build more equitable and connected communities.

We envision a just and vibrant future where our communities value and honor one another and the world around us.
