Academy Studios designed three new galleries that celebrate through first-person stories; the county's immigrants, entrepreneurs and lifestyles. From the immigrants who enriched the culture and economy to the entrepreneurs who changed the world with their technological advances, the people of San Mateo embody the California Dream. High-quality photographic presentations and traditional exhibitry combine to create a sophisticated, informative space. Each gallery highlights multimedia presentations, engaging interactives and historical artifacts connecting visitors to the stories of San Mateo County.
