At one time objects such as stereoscopes, graphophones, rotary telephones, iceboxes, and box televisions were new inventions-the latest and greatest, and everyone wanted to own them. Gadgets Galore! will uncover the histories of these types of objects, and how their invention led to the gadgets that are integral to our lives today. Visitors will connect the past with the present and engage with history!
The Hi-Desert Nature Museum is seeking household gadgets made prior to 1990, both recognizable and strange, to incorporate into this community-curated exhibit. Music-playing or audio/visual apparatuses, kitchen appliances and utensils, grooming tools, and laundering devices are especially sought after.
For a more specific list of desired objects visit www.hidesertnaturemuseum.org. To contribute, please contact the Hi-Desert Nature Museum to make drop-off arrangements. Selected objects will be considered a temporary loan and must remain on display for the duration of the exhibit. The Museum will be accepting objects until December 22, 2022. For specific inquiries, contact Vanessa Cantú, Museum Registrar and Exhibits Coordinator by telephone at (760) 369-7212 or by email at vcantu@yucca-valley.org.
