California Academy of Sciences is one of the largest natural history museums in the world. It began in 1853 as a society for educated individuals in the San Francisco area and grew to become a major museum with 26 million specimens. A completely rebuilt facility opened in 2008 and encompasses 400,000 square feet. A visit to the museum is a chance to see one of the gems of the Bay Area.
