Architectural History
The architecture of the Oakland Museum of California (OMCA) is an alluring blend of innovative design, community engagement, and a reflection of California's diverse cultural heritage. Designed by Kevin Roche John Dinkeloo and Associates (KRJDA) in collaboration with landscape architect Dan Kiley, the museum's architecture has become an iconic symbol of Oakland, California, and modernist architecture.
