About Oakland Museum of California

Oakland Museum of California is a single institution housing the Galleries of California Art, History, and Natural Sciences, where visitors explore exhibitions and special displays in the Great Hall. The museum features a garden, a cafe called Town Fare that serves brunch on Sundays, and hosts Friday Nights events with live performances, DJ sets, and dance lessons on the Garden Stage and Amphitheater. The White Elephant Sale, Northern California's largest rummage sale, takes place at the museum annually with thousands of discounted items available for purchase. A visit suits anyone seeking art, history, or natural science exhibits, whether visiting independently or with a group of ten or more people at a discount. Every first Sunday of the month, admission to the Galleries of California Art, History, Natural Sciences, and any Special Exhibitions costs nothing instead of the regular twenty-five dollars. The Oakland Museum of California stands in Oakland, California, and this free-admission offer is detailed at museumca.org.
