I was surprised at how thoughtful the High Desert Museum’s presentation was. It was made in collaboration with some prominent plateau families. One of my favorite things the curators did, which I’ve never seen before in a museum, was to include contemporary objects mixed in with displays of ancient practices and artworks.
For example:
In this replica tule mat tipi, there’s a basketball jacket, a camping chair and a sleeping bag, instead of cave man stuff.
