3 Ways We Invite You to Share Unexpected Connections
Learn the three strategies we use to help you uncover unexpected connections– both with strangers and new forms of art and history.
If you’ve been one of the 130,000 visitors to the MAH this past year you’ve experienced dynamic exhibitions exploring the stories of local seniors, the vibrant recreation of a beloved local mural, the rich history of Santa Cruz County’s vanished Chinatowns, and the preservation of community space by Latinx gardeners.
But now with 2019 winding down, you are probably a little curious about what's to come in 2020. With the start of the new decade right around the corner, let's dive in to see a few of the igniting, inspiring, and interactive exhibitions that will open in 2020.
