California Hall of Fame, State hall of fame in Sacramento, United States.
The California Hall of Fame is a state hall of fame located within the California Museum in Sacramento that honors individuals whose achievements shaped California across multiple fields. The collection recognizes contributions in arts, sciences, business, sports, and public service.
The hall was established in 2006 by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and First Lady Maria Shriver as a way to honor significant Californians. This initiative created an ongoing tradition of recognizing citizens who shaped their time and communities.
The exhibits showcase personal objects and stories of California's most influential figures across different fields. Visitors can see how these individuals shaped society through their work in arts, sciences, business, sports, and public service.
Visitors can explore the exhibits at their own pace and find detailed information throughout the space. Most people spend one to two hours viewing all areas and reading the stories presented.
Each year, new members are formally inducted in a special ceremony where the state governor presents them with Spirit of California medals. This annual event transforms the honor into a public celebration attended by notable figures and media.
