San Jose Museum of Art presents Hidden Heroes: The Genius of Everyday Things an exhibition on view October 17, 2013 through February 2, 2014.
When we think of brilliant design, we usually think of monumental feats of engineering, architecture, aeronautics, even city planning. Yet modest objects we use every day reflect the same process of problem solving, design, and testing. They are the unrecognized heroes of industrial design, where simplicity and necessity meet ingenuity. www.sanjosemuseumofart.org
