Many questions but no answers, no arrests in #OaklandMuseum burglary that ended with a thousand items, many Native American artifacts, stolen. oaklandnorth.net/2025/10/30/n...

No arrests in 'brazen' Oakland Museum artifacts heist - Oakland North

No arrests have been made a day after Oakland police announced that burglars had stole more than 1,000 items from an Oakland Museum.

2/2 For another perspective on the #JapaneseAmerican #concentrationcamps The #OaklandMuseum location was where #Oakland’s #JapaneseAmericans were told to report to for evacuation to camps. #DorotheaLange chronicled the camps including these photos from our city, many are part of her #OMCA exhibit.

Happy Lunar New Year 2025!

Had a lovely visit to the OMCA, the Oakland Museum of CA for the Lunar New Year.

Was waiting for the Lion Dancers and saw this cloud and said 'that looks like a dragon' and so did a digital draw over in Affinity Photo.
