OMCA inspires Californians to create a more vibrant future for themselves and their communities.

We explore the big ideas that shape California lives, then bring to life the untold and under-told stories of the people behind them—all with a distinctly Oakland point of view.

We are more than a museum. We’re a museum, garden, and gathering place. Our mission is to inspire understanding and empathy with stories and experiences of California’s art, history, and natural environment to build more equitable and connected communities.

With more than two million objects, OMCA brings together our multidisciplinary collections of art, history, and natural science, all within our 110,000 square feet of gallery space and seven-acre campus.

OMCA is a leading cultural institution of the Bay Area and a resource for the research and understanding of California’s dynamic cultural and environmental heritage for visitors from the region, the state, and around the world.
