This 10-year loan to the museum includes more than 120 works from ancient American cultures, including Olmec, Teotihuacan, Maya, Aztec and Inca.
Objects range from Valdivia ceramic figures more than 4,000 years old to 16th-century Aztec and Inca sculpture. Most of the exhibit concentrates on small ceramic sculpture that probably served a ritual function. There are also larger ceramic sculptures from West Mexico, gold objects from Colombia, and items from Ecuador, the Caribbean and Alaska.
The show is arranged in chronological order by culture.
