DETERMINED—Ashe '68 part of Exhibition at the VMHC
Virginia Museum of History and Culture in Richmond, Virginia. As the City dedicates Arthur Ashe Boulevard, the museum will offer visitors a unique view into the local legend with the Ashe ‘68 Virtual Reality Experience. This eight-minute VR experience takes viewers into the moments before Arthur Ashe's historic win at the 1968 US Open. Combining archival footage, custom animation, and 360° video recreations, Ashe '68 enables viewers to witness such moments as Ashe's historic pre-match press conference, walk down the halls of the West Side Tennis Club, and winning match point. The Ashe ’68 Virtual Reality Experience is presented by the International Tennis Hall of Fame and was produced by Rex Miller and Beth Hubbard. The VR experience is free with regular museum admission and will be open from June 22 - September 2, 2019.
DETERMINED will be on display at VMHC. The exhibition is a legacy project of AMERICAN EVOLUTION™, the state commission formed to commemorate the 400th anniversary of key historical events that occurred in Virginia in 1619 and continue to influence America today. The exhibit is curated by Dr. Karen Sherry, VMHC Curator of Exhibitions, with the guidance of an advisory committee consisting of distinguished scholars, museum professionals, public historians, and government leaders who brought a broad range of expertise and perspective to the project.
