The materia ls used in the ma king of the Ga ller y of Ca lifornia Histor y came from low-impact and recycled materials and, whenever possible, reused materials, such as furniture and platforms from the original gallery. Reclaimed water is used throughout the Museum gardens, low-f low fixtures are featured in Museum restrooms, and low-voltage lighting is used throughout the Museum’s public spaces. OMCA also recycles and composts waste.

Stay tuned for a future Green Points Tour highlighting these a nd ma ny more items that demonstrate OMCA’s commitmentto the conservation legacy of John Muir. Please send your green thoughts and suggestions to green@museumca.org.

A Walk in the Wild: Continuing John Muir’s Journey is made possible by generous support from the Oakland Museum Women’s Board, The Bernard Osher Foundation, an anonymous donor, the OMCA Natural Sciences Guild, the J.M. Long Foundation, Guy and Jeanine Saperstein, and the University of the Pacific Library, Holt-Atherton Special Collections, John Muir Papers.

way the many connections OMCA has with Muir. Museum curators and staff have commented

on objects and areas around the Museum. At each stop you’ll find a trail sign or exhibition label.

This trail is inspired by our current exhibition A Walk in the Wild: Continuing John Muir’s Journey.
