Description

Originally intended to simply showcase materials from the state archives, the California Museum has grown through the efforts of First Lady Maria Shriver into a lively and engaging celebration of California's history and culture. Legacy Trails highlight the contributions of women to the development of California, while a California Hall of Fame acknowledges the state's greatest citizens. Rotating exhibits provide fascinating glimpses at the many facets of the Golden State's cultures and subcultures.
