Museum of Jazz & Art Raising the Awareness, Importance & Preservation of Jazz & Art To American Culture. Please join our mailing list to stay informed of progress and events.

The Museum of Jazz & Art (MOJA) will raise the awareness, importance and preservation of Jazz, Jazz Art and History created in America-but loved around the world. Community Support is of critical importance, if the Museum of Jazz & Art-Oakland is to bring the world to Oakland and the importance of Jazz History to the World. We plan to acquire exciting Jazz/Art- exhibits and organize innovative programs and experiences to expand our outreach to local, national and international audiences.
