The California Families program is produced in partnership with Our Family Coalition, Family Builders by Adoption, the City of Oakland, and I-Pride, and with support from the museum’s new LGBT Task Force.

The partner organizations and other local community groups will staff tables with information on family-related services and programs. Browse the tables, visit current exhibitions, shop at the museum store, or relax in the lush museum gardens. Have a great family day!.”
