The California Museum is one of Sacramento’s not-so-secret gems.
Located downtown, it
offers a wealth of exhibits and events that spotlight the state’s
history, accomplishments and milestones. Murales Rebeldes!
L.A. Chicana/o Murals under Siege, which opened in late July
and runs through Dec. 29, documents the censorship, whitewashing
(literally and figuratively) and destruction of Southern
California’s Chicana/o mural scene. With photographs, mural
fragments and other documents, it chronicles vital
Mexican-American representation. Artists include Barbara
Carrasco, Willie F. Herrón III and the East Los Streetscapers.
10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, noon-5 p.m. Sunday; $6.50-$9, Free for children 5 and under; California Museum, 1020 O St.; californiamuseum.org.
