Special to the Town Crier/Los Altos Town Crier
The grand opening of the Los Altos History Museum’s new permanent exhibition, “Making Connections: Stories from the Land,” is scheduled 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Feb. 11.
Over two years in the making, the exhibition delivers an immersive experience through expansive video walls, interactive touch screens and listening stations, and artifacts to tell the story of the people and events that shaped the area.
“The creative team wanted to leverage modern technology to tell an evolving story in a dynamic way,” said Nan Geschke, lead donor and exhibition team leader. “The underlying digital format makes it possible to rapidly update the content to ensure that the information remains fresh and relevant for the next 10 to 20 years. We’re most grateful to the many donors who helped fund this cutting-edge technology.”
Transformation through the years
