A New Museum of Redlands in the Making

Nathan Gonzales, Ph.D. and Maria Carrillo, Ph.D.

May 22, 2025 | 5:30 p.m.–6:30 p.m.

The movement to create a museum about Redlands began 25 years ago, and that dream is now a reality.  With the building’s construction now complete, Smiley Library’s curatorial staff are hard at work turning the structure in the Museum of Redlands with an extensive exhibition program.

Dr. Nathan Gonzales, Head of Special Collections, and Dr. Maria Carrillo Colato, Special Collections Manager, will talk about the evolution of this 25-year community labor of love and give a sneak peek on what’s in store for the museum and the community when it opens this coming fall.
