This Time It's Personal: Innovation in Your Home

The Linda Hall Library's year-long celebration and examination of the history of innovation continues with This Time It's Personal: Innovation in Your Home, which opened September 28, 2011.  Visitors to This Time It's Personal will be surprised to discover technology's influence in every aspect of their lives from the mundane (carpet fibers) to the sophisticated (laser lights in television remote controls).

Various galleries throughout the first floor of the Library will represent rooms in a contemporary family home. The installation includes a kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom, garage, and an interactive video kiosk presentation developed by 305 Spin.  Journal articles, rare books, and patents from the Library's collection will demonstrate the pathway of innovation for these common household items. Visitors will leave with a sense that even a quiet night at home can be a walk through the history of modern innovation.

The exhibition will be on view through March 16, 2012. Admission is free.  To learn more about this exhibit or the exhibition lecture dates please visit http://www.lindahall.org/innovation/index.shtml.
