  • "Journeys: Just Passing Through" - Explore the restless nature of the human species in this new exhibit featuring objects and artifacts from around the globe.  From the unrecorded migrations of our earliest ancestors, to landing a man on the moon, the ability to move from place to place and to adapt to new environments and challenges is part of the human experience.  We are travelers.  We go places.  Join us to explore these journeys – the paths we walk, the cultures we encounter, the impacts we have, and the understanding we develop along the way.
