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 California Hall of Fame was created in 2006 on the initiative of Maria Shriver, then First Lady of California, to honor Californians whose work embodies the state's spirit of innovation. Its exhibitions are housed in the California Museum in Sacramento. Inductees must have lived in California for at least five years and made a lasting contribution to the state, the nation and the world.
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.
The award handed to each inductee was designed by Los Angeles artist Robert Graham, who was himself inducted in 2008. Inductees must have lived in California for at least five years and shown lasting contributions to the state, the nation and the world.
