Overview

Together, we will create a 21st century showcase worthy of California’s past and its future, with more welcoming spaces; easier, friendlier ways to navigate the Museum; and exciting ways to personalize your experience, whoever you are, and whatever your interests.

Help us meet the $1 million Kresge Challenge!

The Kresge Foundation recently awarded the Oakland Museum of California a $1 million challenge grant to help complete the capital campaign. We have until December 2010 to raise the final $5 million for the $58 million project.
