The Los Altos History Museum presents its holiday exhibit, “Through the Eyes of a Child: Winter Holidays,” through Jan. 2.

The exhibit explores the culturally and religiously diverse holidays and festivities of Jewish Hanukkah, Hindu Diwali, Iranian Nowruz, African American Kwanzaa, Chinese New Year and Christmas traditions from Europe, the United States and Mexico. A highlight of the exhibit is the “Winter Wonderland” train layout, centered within separate vignettes for each celebration. Many of the vignettes will include a hands-on or take-away activity.

A free event for families with school-age children, “Holiday Story Time,” is slated for 7 p.m., Dec. 15, at the museum, 51 S. San Antonio Road, Los Altos.

The family event, “Holiday Story Time,” depicts winter holidays of many cultures and will be read by Vi D’Oliva, Los Altos History Museum volunteer. A half-hour prior to story time, the museum will be open for visitors who wish to view the exhibit. Favors will be distributed and children are invited to come in their pajamas.
