Join us for a special in-person exhibition tour of The Los Gatos History Project: Uncovering Untold Stories! Curator Allison Railo will lead a walkthrough of the exhibition, specifically discussing the three new displays on view, as well as her own curatorial observations about NUMU's collection of artifacts and belongings.

The Los Gatos History Project is NUMU’s unprecedented effort to catalog and dive deeper into its permanent collection. This exhibition, the first to come out of the project, will present a selection of objects that have given the museum more questions than answers. By taking a critical look at these objects and the stories they tell, the exhibition will prompt visitors to ask: Who made these objects? Why did the museum collect them? What can we learn from them? And whose stories are missing? Through this exhibition, visitors will gain a greater understanding of museum collecting practices, and a greater appreciation for the hidden complexities of Los Gatos history.


In accordance with the New Museum Los Gatos, masks are required while inside the museum. Masks are not required for participants that can show proof of their up-to-date* Covid vaccination.

Do not attend if you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, or have been in close contact or tested positive within the past 10 days.

*Up-to-date with their vaccines, which includes booster doses at regular time points.
