Reinvention -Oakland Museum

After being closed for over two years for a $58 million renovation, the museum opened its doors last week to an excited crowd of fans. The original museum was built 41 years ago -a terraced and walled concrete structure that became an instant national landmark.

Some of the new features include a re-grouping of the permanent collection, visitor feedback stations where people can record their own life in California, do self-portraits, vote on what is or is not real art, a new gourmet cafe, an additional 5,600 ft. of airy high ceiling galleries and many more upcoming exhibits.

Judith Glass, a former art docent at the museum was thrilled to see pieces of the permanent collection that now had room to be displayed. She also thought that there were a alot of new magical spaces. Go to http://museumca.org/
