Celebrate “California Museum Month”

Did you know that May is “California Museum Month”? It’s an annual state event that celebrates the diversity of our community services. These community services include amazing cultural centers, historical societies, museums, science centers, zoos, and botanical gardens in the state of California. And we have over 1,500 museums statewide.

I thought it would be nice to have a list of the most important museums in our area.

 Please leave a comment and tell others your favorite museum or current exhibit. Obviously, there are far too many local museums for me to have listed them all, but just looking at this list motivates me to go visit a few.
