Above and Below at the Oakland Museum of California

With more than 100,000 square feet of gallery space on four city blocks, the Oakland Museum of California (OMCA) is one of the largest cultural institutions in the San Francisco Bay Area and the only museum devoted exclusively to the art, history, and natural environment of California. From August 31, 2013 through February 23, 2014, OMCA presented Above and Below: Stories From Our Changing Bay. This project served as a model for the institution for both the intensity of our partnerships with significant local institutions and stakeholders, and for how we might connect a broad audience to the human history of our shared natural environment.
