Above and Below: Stories from Our Changing Bay was produced by the Oakland Museum of California in partnership with the San Francisco Estuary Institute.
Above and Below: Stories from Our Changing Bay is supported by the California Department of Transportation, in partnership with the Bay Area Toll Authority and the California Transportation Commission to complete the seismic safety project on the historic San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. The exhibition and related oral histories, school curriculum, and on-line resources help satisfy mitigation obligations required to comply with state and federal environmental laws.
The exhibition also received generous support from the Oakland Museum Women’s Board, Barclay and Sharon Simpson, and Stephen and Susan Chamberlin.
The Oakland Museum of California would like to thank the following individuals and organizations for their contributions to the development and production of this exhibition.
