This exhibition of 77 works from the museum's collection will inaugurate the new Diker Pavilion for Native Arts and Cultures.

The exhibition includes two interactive media stations, at which visitors may access in-depth descriptions of each object and, through virtual imaging technology, view and rotate a selection of the objects to examine them more closely.
