Skateboard: Evolution and Art in California
Meg Patch
Chances are if you live in Southern California, you probably see skateboarders all the time. The Skateboard: Evolution and Art exhibition at the California Heritage Museum shows the evolution of boards from before 1950 to the present, displaying the riders, designers, artists and manufacturers that created the California phenomenon now known as the skateboard. The skateboard started out as a simple plank of wood with metal roller skate wheels nailed to the bottom. Now, a skateboard involves polyurethane wheels and kicktails and many other modern advancements. Learn more about the evolution of the skateboard and this unique cultural activity that has spread from California to throughout the world. The show opened to the public last November, but it will continue to be open through Sunday, May 30th, 2010. The museum is open from 11am to 4pm Wednesday through Sunday, but it will be closed Easter, April 4th, 2010. General Admission is $8.00 and $5.00 if you are a senior or a Student. Members and Children under twelve get in for free.
