Dan Kiley designed the landscaping on and around the museum.

Members of the American Institute of Architects held their annual conference in San Francisco, CA, in 06/1973, and held a reception in the Oakland Museum and at the Berkeley Museum in association with the event. A short-lived periodical, Architecture Plus, noted of the Oakland Museum in 07/1973: "The Oakland Museum designed by Roche & Dinkeloo, was the scene of a great 'cultural event' (Californese for bash)--and the bash (which later moved to the Berkeley Museum) and the Oakland Museum demonstrated that what the world needed most was a lot of invisible, underground buildings. (The O.M. is, of course, a multi-level park on top, with some galleries below.) In any event, the Museum was quite clearly one of the best, recent buildings in the U.S." (See "Re-run in San Francisco," Architecture Plus, 1:6, 07/1973, p. 12.)
