Time Out says

Skateboard, an exhibition curated and designed by author, designer and skater Johnathan Olivares, is a comprehensive showcasing of the history of the iconic piece of equipment that’s spawned both a sport and a subculture. Ninety skateboards, along with more than 100 pieces of hardware, wheels and tucks will be on display, showing the evolution of their design from the retro ’50s Californian models to contemporary examples. Tony Hawk’s first-ever professional model skateboard, and Laura Thornhill’s Logan Earth Ski 1970s pro model (pictured), are both part of the collection.
