 “In a time when we are all leading hectic lives, museums offer us a chance to catch our breath and spend time with family and friends learning new things or rediscovering things we have forgotten. We are proud to be part of the Year of the Museum, focusing attention not just on the Los Altos History Museum, but on the ways that museums across the country enrich our lives each and every day.” - former museum president Julie Rose |
