Featuring approximately 170 extraordinary objects of pre-Colombian origin, Ritual Beauty: Art of the Ancient Americas includes ancient vessels, effigy jars, textiles and adornments, clay figures, stone sculptures, and implements fashioned from copper, silver and gold, all offering a window on the aesthetic worlds of Mesoamerica and the Andean region prior to European contact.

The exhibit aims to provide a better understanding of the aesthetic, social, political, and religious life of the pre-Colombian world in which these exceptional objects were created, as well as an occasion to study, appreciate, and enjoy the artistic achievements of these rich cultures through their material past.
