Lonely Planet review

Near the southern end of the lake is the Oakland Museum, which has rotating exhibitions on artistic as well as scientific themes, not to mention three worthwhile permanent galleries. These are dedicated to the state's diverse ecology; its history, from its native past to the suburban present; and California art, from lavish 19th-century landscapes to edgy contemporary works. The Lake Merritt BART station is a block away.

The Museum is located near the southern end of Lake Merritt, which is a popular place to stroll or go running.
