About this event

Discover the enduring worldviews of ancient Andean civilizations through nearly 100 exquisite pre-Columbian ceramic, textile, bone, and wood works. This exhibition highlights Andean cosmovision—a spiritual understanding of the universe grounded in reciprocity and the recognition of nature as a living being. Items on display embody relationships between humans, ancestors, and sacred forces, some dating back more than 2,500 years. The title 'Tupananchiskama' means 'until life brings us together again' in Quechua, reflecting an ancestral view of death as transformation rather than an end. Adult admission is $26, with half-price entry available on Thursday evenings after 5 pm.
