Events › Exhibit: Buster Crabbe Saves the City!

Who's Buster Crabbe you ask? Buster Crabbe was born in Oakland in 1908. After winning Olympic gold as a swimmer, he became a Hollywood star. Playing the roles of Buck Rogers, Tarzan, and Flash Gordon earned him the nickname "King of the Serials."

 This exhibit tells Buster Crabbe's story in his own words, alongside highlights from Oakland history during his heyday. See posters, photographs, and other memorabilia from Buster's career and Oakland's history.
