Well, if you've visited the Oakland Museum's Cool Remixed exhibit, you'd know the answer. Well, have you? No? So what are you waiting for? The OMCA sincerely tries to lure in the atypcial museum goer. If you know a kid who doesn't like museums (and, we all know at least one), take that kid down to Oak and Tenth and rock their world. Slide them through the more hum drum showing of the Birth of Cool first. You may dig the 1970 Hollywood Hills homes, but today's media-blitzed, pimped-cribbed youth might only yawn. That's when you shimmy next door to the town's version of Cool in the Cool Remixed exhibit featuring skateboard videos set to stylin' jams, apparel that hums a happenin' vibe and shoes decked out as suspension bridges and doll houses. Cool Remixed is an awesome display of O-Town's imaginative youth. It's only here until August 18, so trek on down and show some love to the creative side of Oakland.

Oakland Museum of California to Close Temporarily Sunday, August 23
The Oakland Museum of California will temporarily close to the public Sunday, August 23, at 5 p.m. to complete its ambitious renovation. We will be ready to welcome back visitors in May 2010 with a grand reopening celebration. The transformed museum promises an entirely new look at the California experience, telling stories through the many diverse voices of Californians.
Visitors can look forward to more inclusive and interactive features in our expanded Art and History galleries, a dramatic and accessible Oak Street entrance, and new public spaces.
During the break the Museum will offer off-site and online programs.
