ABOUT THE MUSEUM
OMCA's mission is, “To inspire all Californians to create a more vibrant future for themselves and their communities.” The Museum is a blend of art, history, and natural science and is grounded in the belief that a museum should be welcoming and inclusive, making a difference by offering everyone access to inspiration, learning, and creativity. Industry research, and the Museum’s own audience research, reflects that audiences are deeply interested in learning about different cultures, want to connect their own identity to other cultures, and are seeking distinctive and inspiring experiences. .

ABOUT OAKLAND
Oakland is the heart of the East Bay region in the San Francisco Bay Area and the most ethnically diverse major city in the United States. Surrounded by 19 miles of coastline to the west and rolling hills to the east, Oakland covers 54 square miles, has a population of over 419,000 (and a population of approximately 7.65 million in the greater San Francisco Bay Area), and is the eighth largest city in California. Its diverse population, temperate climate, thriving arts and culture scene, dramatically growing downtown, vibrant waterfront, world-class restaurants, popular professional sports teams, and myriad parks and open spaces make Oakland a dynamic place to live and work.

Today, Oakland is experiencing a renaissance as it seeks to balance diversity and equity, proud heritage and emerging energy – all while retaining heart and soul. Perhaps no single place is better positioned to support a thriving Oakland than OMCA – welcoming all, dedicated to making a difference, providing a joyful, inclusive, thought-provoking environment for dialogue and discovery.
