The Carnegie Museum complex in Oakland must surely be one of the most impressive in the world. Imagine: a world-class art museum; a world-class natural history museum; an enormous public library; a concert hall; and a rather mind-blowing concert hall foyer... all this under one roof (more or less). I find the actual building as spectacular as any of the... more

I had a great time at this museum. The dinosaur exhibit was particularly effective and takes up a large space in the museum. Never before have seen a finer exhibit on Dinosaurs.

The Carnegie Museum of Natural History and Carnegie Art Museum are connected and included with a single admission. Always a plus. But I've been coming here since I was a child and have always preferred the natural history side to the art side. The museum has the most extensive collection of dinosaur fossils in the world and Dinosaur Hall is... more
