The 7 Best Art Galleries in Berkeley, California (CA)
The counter-culture, flower power center of the 60s, bohemian Berkeley has evolved into a culinary and cultural travel scene. Shift into low gear and people-watch along quirky Telegraph Avenue while checking out the bookstores and cafes. After strolling through the UC Berkeley campus, the Berkeley Rose Garden and the Downtown Arts District, head into the hills for an outdoor adventure in Tilden Park or cruise down to the waterfront park, where the San Francisco skyline sparkles across the bay.

This gallery always surprises me when I’m strolling (or jogging) through Live Oak Park. I’ve seen many great exhibits and the space is beautiful.

I have been visiting BAMPFA for the past couple of years on the first Thursday of the month, which is a free admission day. I always find their exhibits interesting if not fascinating. The building is impressive, the gallery spaces range in size from intimate to cavernous, making each perfectly scaled for the works presented. They have some gems in their permanent collection, which are not on permanent display but are instead intermingled with loans in their themed temporary exhibits. The staff at the front desk and bookstore are pleasant and helpful. I find their bookstore/gift shop to be very good, considering that BAMPFA is not a major museum. I would definitely recommend a visit on these free days. I've never actually paid admission, but I think it would be worth it, especially for those who aren't in town for these free Thursdays.
