The California Exhibition Resources Alliance (CERA) is a network of professionally operated museums and cultural organizations that collaborate to create and tour smaller, affordable, high quality exhibitions that enhance civic engagement and human understanding.

Since 1988, CERA has been serving museums, libraries, and cultural organizations with limited resources and assisting them in providing their communities with exceptional exhibitions. CERA exhibitions explore history, art, natural science, and contemporary issues through photography, artifacts, stunning image and text panels, and hands-on educational materials.
