Exhibit Reviews

“This exhibit tells the incredible story of how planet Earth - which began as a collection of star dust - became a dynamic planet harboring all necessary conditions for incubating, nurturing, and protecting life.”

All Under Heaven

This diverse collection of 50 Asian antiquities (3,600 BCE to the mid-1800 CE) is divided into three sections: Earthly possessions, objects used by the living, the temple icons of Buddha and Shiva (Heaven), and funerary goods, objects found in the tombs of the elite (the Afterlife). Representing China, Japan, and the nations of Southeast Asia, these artifacts are seen together for the first time as a comprehensive collection of artifacts from the ancient world.

TUTANKHAMUN: "Wonderful Things"
THIS EXHIBIT IS CURRENTLY ON TOUR

From the artisans of the Pharaonic Village in Egypt, this dazzling collection of reproductions of Tutankhamun’s legendary treasures recreates the richest archaeological find of all time. Accompanied by a lively text, 124 replicas of the pharaoh’s sacred and personal possessions (including his magnificent state chariot, golden shrines, beds, thrones, jewelry, spectacular funerary mask, mummy case, and royal mummy) along with associated artifacts from the period surrounding Tutankhamun’s reign reconstruct both the historic discovery of the tomb by Howard Carter and the life and times of Egypt’s celebrated boy king. This classic exhibition vividly brings to life the enigmatic opulent age of 18th Dynasty Egypt.
