We’re excited to welcome you back to OMCA and have implemented necessary adjustments to ensure your health and safety, including frequent cleaning of galleries and high-touch surfaces, one-way paths of travel, and reduced capacity to encourage social distancing.

OMCA’s Galleries of California Art, History, and Natural Sciences, as well as our gardens and cafe, Town Fare, are also open during regular hours.
COVID-19 Health and Safety Information
As of February 1, 2022, following the Oakland City Council emergency ordinance, OMCA will require proof of vaccination for all onsite activities. This includes access to our galleries and special exhibitions, programs, events in the theater, cafe, and garden. For unvaccinated individuals, a document from a licensed medical professional verifying a medical exemption and a recent negative test (within 72 hours) will also be accepted for entry to the Museum.
Adults are required to show proof of vaccination along with their photo ID; children ages 12 and older and students on K-12 field trips must show proof of vaccination but are not required to provide an ID.
Thank you for helping us protect each other and our community! We look forward to seeing you at OMCA soon.
