From the Vault: Rare Artifacts with Fascinating Stories
From the Vault will highlight the many ways in which an artifact can be a treasure, emphasizing the artist’s attempt to make the object functional, beautiful, spiritual, or a combination of these attributes. You’ll see pieces from numerous countries and several centuries displayed side by side. While at first these objects may seem unrelated, if you look carefully, you’ll see that the artifact pairings reveal something about both the cultures they represent and humanity as a whole.
