Welcome to the wonderful museums of the City of Sacramento! We are excited that you have chosen to explore the heritage of California’s Capital City and some of its arts, wildlife and culture. For business or pleasure, I’m sure you will Änd Sacramento a memorable destination.

Sacramento is known as the “friendly” city—a good place to live, work, and play. Its museums reÅect the diversity of our residents, our geography and history. Here, you can do much more than simply read about the California Gold Rush: You can actually experience it!
