The day I explored Los Gatos it was raining. So, the cute upscale outdoor shopping district wasn’t too much fun.
But what is the cultivated person supposed to do when it rains? Right, go to a museum. The NUMU is a little gem. (Not only on rainy days!)
The high school exhibition Social Matters blew me away with the depth of the pieces. High schoolers from around the area painted, photographed, sculpted and wrote a piece about the art and the social matter that they were depicting.
Take for example Adi Lahav’s Fetal Position, a piece that speaks for itself.
Next was the hat exhibit, different hats with tools to make them. Although just a one room collection a very interesting look at the history of different headgear and tops.
The More Than Your Selfie exhibit has, amongst other pieces of various techniques a very emotional video from Christina Nunez.
She tells her life story and how she used selfies as a therapeutic device.
As a special treat you can buy yourself some little art from the art-o-mat. I did not have $5 in coins, but sure will bring some next time! Have you ever used an art-o-mat?
You can visit the NUMU on 106 E. Main Street, Los Gatos, CA. Opening hours are Friday to Sunday from 10 am until 4 pm.
What is your favorite museum?
