Laguna Gloria – Listening to the Land

A Multi-Media Walking Tour Exploring Laguna Gloria’s Ecological & Historical Significance

 
At The Contemporary Austin – Laguna Gloria, time gathers rather than passes, with stories and lessons about nature and local history embedded in the landscape. On the self-guided audio tour Laguna Gloria – Listening to the Land, journey back into the ecological and human histories that shaped this place.

Moving deeper in time with each step, encounter the many people who traversed this region—from early Texas socialites to industrious Mormon settlers and indigenous peoples. Concentrated on the time before Laguna Gloria became home to Austin arts organizations, Listening to the Land invites visitors to slow down, learn local histories, and consider the interconnectedness of people and place.
