The day is yours to explore the museum and relive the events that shaped history during Reagan’s eight years in the White House. You’ll share President Reagan’s dream and learn how he led America toward it. The state-of-the-art museum takes you from Reagan’s early years to his time spent as a world leader. You’ll quickly learn that the cupboards and cabinets of Presidential history contain more than official documents. There are also chess sets and tea sets; pillows and portraits. Received as gifts, these objects are tokens of respect and affection offered to the nation’s Chief Executive. You will also have the opportunity to observe the final resting place of former President Reagan a the library and touch a piece of the Berlin Wall.
This trip includes the West Coast Premiere of the Auschwitz Exhibit The exhibition brings together more than 700 original objects of great historic and human value; objects which were direct witnesses of the horrors of Auschwitz and the Holocaust. These objects serve as the guiding thread of a rigorous and moving account on the history of the German Nazi camp Auschwitz and its dwellers, both victims and perpetrators.
Through this daunting selection of objects from the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum as well as more than 20 institutions and museums all over the world, the Auschwitz exhibition portrays the complex reality of the notorious camp, universal symbol of the human tragedies that resulted from Nazi ideology, and the world of victims and perpetrators with a clear goal – to elucidate how such a place could come into being and dig into how its existence has determined our present worldview. Most of these objects have never been shown to an audience in the West Coast before.
