Synopsis

This comprehensive exhibition was selected entirely from the collection of the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation.  It reflects the rich cultural heritage of all of the varied and little-known Indian civilizations that once extended down the American continents from the Arctic to Tierra del Fuego.  And it offers what we feel is an unprecedented opportunity to compare and contrast, on one place and at one time, the esthetic achievements of Amerindian societies as they have evolved over the last 4,000 years
