About
the Oakland Museum
The Oakland Museum of California, opened in 1969, is one
of the most architecturally interesting museums in the
country, a graceful, three-tiered blend of spacious galleries,
terraces, patios, sculpture gardens and ponds.
Comprehensive permanent exhibits on three floors portray
California's natural wonders, events, eras and people
who have shaped the state, and the art that Californians
have produced since artist-explorers first ventured
into the Yosemite Valley.
Galleries, special exhibitions, tours, educational
programs and public festivals celebrate the state's
far-reaching diversity. Visitors enjoy the Museum Cafe
and Museum Store, with many California titles as well
as gifts, children's books and educational toys, and
decorative items.

| The
beautifully restored Potomac is an active
testament to the man who led America
out of the Great Depression and through
World War II. Now, more than 50 years
after his death, the spirit of FDR can
still be felt on board. The ship is
the central artifact of the Potomac
Association's museum and memorial that
is dedicated to remembering Roosevelt
and his era. Guided dockside tours are
available every Wednesday, Friday and
Sunday; and two-hour history cruises
tour the Bay eight times each month
from mid-March through mid-November. |
