California Hall of Fame
The California Hall of Fame was conceived by former First Lady Maria Shriver to honor legendary individuals and families who embody California’s innovative spirit and have made their mark on history. Since 2006, the California Museum has held annual ceremonies to induct approximately a dozen notable Californians per year into this hall of fame, on exhibit at The California Museum year-round.

A Youth to Fortune and to Fame unknown,

And Melancholy mark’d him for her own.”
