a. Above and Below: Stories from our Changing Bay

b. Bay Motion: Capturing San Francisco Bay on Film

If you want to join a docent tour to learn even more about the museum, save 1:00 p.m. for the Architecture Tour,  2:00 p.m. for the Gallery of California Art Tour, or join the Gallery of California History Tour at 3:00 p.m..

While you move among the exhibits, you can make plans to have lunch at the Blue Oak cafe, and take home some memories and souvenirs from their OMCA Store.
