OAKLAND (BCN) — The Oakland Museum of California will reopen its Great Hall next week after a closure resulting from water damage during last month’s “atmospheric river” storm that blew through the region.
The exhibition hall at the museum at 10th and Oak streets near Lake Merritt has been closed since Oct. 24 but is reopening Dec. 3 with the special exhibition “Mothership: Voyage Into Afrofuturism” resuming.
“Edith Heath: A Life in Clay,” the next show at the museum that had to be postponed because of the closure, will now open on Jan. 29.
No artwork in the museum was damaged as a result of the storm, and crews are finishing the repairs ahead of next week’s reopening, museum officials said in an announcement this week.
