The exhibit details how the Grizzly was a symbol of California’s untamed wilderness, and of freedom and power, but was driven to extinction as California was settled. “Bear In Mind: The Story of the California Grizzly” is on display through July 13, 2014. The exhibition is produced and toured by the California Exhibition Resources Alliance (CERA). The exhibition was developed in concert with The Bancroft Library, University of California, Berkeley and Heyday Books. This exhibition was supported by the William Randolph Hearst Foundation with additional funds from the Bank of the West.
