🎉 Today’s the day! 🎉

After a full month of deep cleaning, organizing, and giving the place some much-needed TLC, the Northeast Oakland Historical Museum is officially OPEN again today!

The doors are back open and we’re ready to welcome you in to explore, learn, and reconnect with the stories that shaped our community. Come see what’s new, what’s been polished up, and what’s always worth remembering.

We can’t wait to see familiar faces (and some new ones too) back in the museum!
