As of last week, the Oakland Museum of California has a new interactive exhibit on display all about hip-hop.
The show, "Respect: Hip-hop Style and Wisdom," highlights the evolution of hip-hop and features key pieces of hip-hop culture from across the country.
Visitors can check out artifacts such as a 1964 Chevy Impala lowrider car or the turntables used by New York’s pioneer DJ Grandmaster Flex. There’s also an area where they can practice breakdancing and even try out DJ-ing themselves.
Then there's the section dedicated to the Bay Area and its role in hip-hop's evolution.
It pays homages to artists such as graffiti writer Mike "Dream" Francisco and filmmaker Yak who put the Bay Area street dance on the global map.
