The California African American Museum (CAAM), founded in 1977, explores the African-American artistic and cultural experience, with a particular focus on California and the western U.S. Stroll through the permanent and continuously changing exhibits, including a current rich display celebrating the achievements of African-American women. The museum also offers educational programs and workshops featuring music, film and fine arts. Admission to CAAM is free, but for a fascinating tour led by an experienced docent (offered four times each day, Tuesday throught Saturday), the charge is $3 for adults and $2 for students under 17). Check out the once-a-month Target Sundays where you'll find concerts, a chance to create your own art and much more.
