The California Museum for History, Women & the Arts offers interactive exhibits and hosts the California Hall of Fame, showcasing influential Californians. The non-profit company is based in Sacramento, CA. Notable displays include the Sesquicentennial Quilt, a collaborative artwork celebrating California’s 150th anniversary, featuring hand-stitched representations of all 58 counties. The museum operates Tuesday through Sunday and provides a variety of programs such as exhibitions, field trips, virtual experiences, and special events. Membership grants access to exclusive events like "Ikeda’s: Peaches, Pies & Perseverance," which highlights the legacy of the Ikeda family, Japanese American pioneers who overcame WWII incarceration to rebuild a successful roadside market. The museum also supports educational resources, volunteer opportunities, and sponsorships to further its mission of celebrating California’s history, women, and the arts.
