BAY AREA: Oakland Museum of California

It’s been a while since we visited the Oakland Museum of California and at that time we were so absorbed by the Birth of the Cool exhibit that we didn’t pay too much attention to the cool museum that was hosting it.

Today we discovered the other side of the museum, the permanent cool mid-century modern spirit of the museum, the outdoor sculpture gardens and the wonderful family and interactive exhibits!
