We all use maps in our everyday lives—to navigate public
transportation, find places to eat, and visualize big data like
weather patterns or political opinions. But have you ever considered
the deeper stories maps tell us? In , at the Oakland Museum of
California, you’ll discover there’s more to maps than meets the
eye. Showcasing a diverse range of maps from Oakland, the Bay Area,
and California—from environmental surroundings and health conditions
to community perspectives and creative artworks—experience how maps
can be a powerful tool to share unique points of view and imagine a
better future. Explore new perspectives of familiar places through
maps made by the community, and mark your own stories on the community
map inside the exhibition. Dates: February 14, 2020–February 28,
2022 Museum hours: Wednesday–Thursday, 11 am–5 pm; Friday, 11
am–9 pm; Saturday–Sunday, 11 am–5 pm, Monday & Tuesday, Closed
