Very well curated, large museum situated on three floors. Allow at least two hours as there is a lot to see. Dorothea Lange collection is a must!

This is a rather expensive museum for the size of its collection, especially with the additional fee for special exhibits, and the architecture is intimidating. All the concrete surfaces and lack of windows can be depressing and pretty claustrophobic. Staff are generally pleasant. Some of the collections - for example the California history one - are small but excellent. Do open the drawers in various exhibits, but be sure to have your hand sanitizer at hand. The Dorothea Lange photography was great. I was disappointed in the poor representation of native and/or regular birds found in the area. Restaurant is good, although they were out of a number of items. Nice gift shop with good range of items. Parking is convenient. More places for seating would be a plus for older visitors.

The museum is a must to visitors. But plan to have at least 4 hours to see the museum. The museum is closed at 5 pm. The garden outside is beautiful ,but make sure you leave the garden before 5 pm because the garden is locked after 5 pm.

Much better than your average 'state' museum. Extensive galleries - I made only through the two floors that interested me most, and could have spent considerable additional time on the history floor (I started with art). It is open later Friday nights, and is something of a scene (in a good way - alive with activity). You can eat in the gardens, stroll outside, or concentrate on the exhibits. Something for most everyone. Now, the caveat: more than most (perhaps more than any) this museum is absolutely infected with PC history where virtually everyone is victim of something or other - generally white males. You can cry for migrants, immigrants, illegals, blacks, women, Asians, Indians, workers, farmers, pick a culture. So much hand wringing. History does not go mincely about - generally, whatver group is in power behaves accordingly - but they also manage to get nations built, railroads planned, cities erected, nature tamed, and sometimes even set up governments that generously give to those in need - at all levels. Rant over - don't let this detract form the genuine level of interest here - it is history, it is interesting, and if there's a heavy agenda, well - it's 2022.

An exceptional collection, interesting and well-organized, particularly if you have any interest in California history, I must have spent 30-40 minutes in the California gold rush alone. Lots of hidden gems, as well as not-so-hidden. The art exhibit is surprisingly good. Again, well-curated. Has a surprising number of 19th century landscape paintings of California scenery and landmarks by known artists (Bierstadt, etc) and photographers. There is a special exhibit of Dorothea Lange's California photography. Includes decorative arts and furniture. Be sure to open the drawers underneath the display cabinets for hidden surprises. Science floor has lots of taxidermy - many more species of mammals and birds live in California than I had assumed. Dioramas are superbly presented and dramatic. Yes, there is plenty to make you feel guilty if you are white - but easy to skip over the "social justice" sections if you wish (as I did). Ample activities for little kids.

This museum is devoted to all things from California, but it is truly a gem in the City of Oakland. Come on a Friday night for the food trucks, wander around inside, eat outside. And note when there is a special expo that interests you.

We had a few hours to spare before hotel check in time so decided to check out the museum. One of the highlights of our weekend trip.
We wished we had known there is an outdoor garden with shade where one can sit and eat (does not need to purchase tickets) because we had bought takeout dim sum at Chinatown and ate it by Merrit Lake in the hot sun.
Adult admission $16.
Lockers were free, big enough for backpack.. not sure if they have storage for larger luggage.
Three sections/floors (Art, Natural Sciences, and History of California). Both natural sciences and history of California sections were interactive. Great for kids and adults. Lots of comfortable couches/seats to sit.
Lots of things to see. Very informative. Kudos to the museum for acknowledging the genocide of Native Americans. We probably spent over 3 hours at the museum.
Overall, well spent time and money.

I spent three hours on the top level, which is devoted to art/artists of California. There was a big variety, all well-curated. I didn't have time for the rest of the museum, but I'll bet I could have spent all day here.
Past the top-floor entrance is the large "garden." Although most of the plants were half-dead, the sculpture set against the background of the city made it worth a visit.

While some of the museum is quite interesting, most of the exhibits are geared to, and have supporting literature supporting/emphasizing a definite liberal take on most aspects of bay area history. This includes past and current, natural, political, and social. I felt as tho I was being indoctrinated into a social mindset far in excess of the norm and informed that left-wing diversity played a much bigger role in history than is logical. Communism, gay/lesbian lifestyle, and social engineering were strongly infused in almost every display and references to them were in positive to glowing tone. One visit is enough, never again.

Do you have a discount for educators?
Gail R

They have free teacher days several times a year. They just had one a few weeks ago for the Dia de los Muertos exhibit and they mentioned they were planning two more this year (one winter, one spring). So get on their email list. These nights are typically on Fridays after school. The museum provided snacks plus tokens for the food trucks and a drink, they have various presenters there, too. Most museums in the Bay Area have at least one free teacher day each year. Sometimes you can bring a guest, some not.
Also, people are incorrect that they do not have an educator discount - they do have a special educator rate for museum memberships (I just pulled out my card and checked). I can't remember how much I paid (maybe $55/year?).
Which Bart station is the closest to the museum?

The Lake Merritt BART station is only a couple blocks from the Oakland Museum. When you exit the BART station head towards the hills and you are walking in the right direction.
Is there a Free day?
Claudia L
Oakland, كاليفورنيا
Hi there! Yes, we do have one free day a month—Free First Sunday. The first Sunday of each month offers free admission during our regular hours of 10 am to 6 pm.
Hope to see you at the Oakland Museum of California soon,
Claudia
