Oakland folded its separate art, history and natural science collections into one institution and opened it in 1969 in a terraced concrete building whose roofs are planted as public gardens. The holdings run past 1.8 million objects and are organised around the state itself rather than split by department, so a Gold Rush pistol and a Bay Area figurative painting can sit in the same argument. It is the only museum of its kind devoted entirely to California.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
