Oakland Museum of California

Art, history, and natural science museum in a rooftop-garden building.

Address 1000 Oak St, Oakland, CA 94607
Phone 510-318-8400

Three museums in one, covering California's art, history, and natural sciences under a single roof near Lake Merritt. The terraced building by Kevin Roche is worth seeing for its architecture alone, with rooftop gardens spilling down between levels. Open Wednesday through Sunday, with late hours on Fridays when the museum hosts a popular evening event with food trucks, music, and half-price admission.
