Red-tiled buildings give a Mediterranean quality to the University of California, Berkeley. The Berkeley campus boasts a 307-foot Campanile, resembling St. Mark's Tower in Venice, and the William Randolph Hearst Greek Theatre, designed in the style of an ancient amphitheatre. Other outstanding buildings are Kroeber Hall, which houses the Phoebe Hearst Museum of Anthropology, and the Worth Ryder Gallery of Painting and Sculpture. In the Earth Sciences Building, you can see geological relief models. The University of California Botanical Garden is in Strawberry Canyon, also the site of a beautiful open-air theater erected in a pine and redwood grove as a memorial to Stephen Mather, first director of the National Park Service.
Another Berkeley attraction is the Judah L. Magnes Museum, which traces Jewish life and culture throughout the world. Artistic, historical, and literary materials are on display.
