[Aztlan] 2 Ancient Americas exhibits in Paris

[michael ruggeri]

Listeros,

If you are in Paris between now and next January, there are two very  
good Ancient Americas exhibits going on. The huge Teotihuacan exhibit  
which started at the National Museum in Mexico City is ongoing at the  
Musee Branly and there is an exhibit on ancient American god at the  
Gallery of Mineralogy.

Through January 11, 2010,
“Gold of the Americas”
The Musée d’Histoire Naturelle is presenting an exhibition devoted to  
the yellow metal that is found in particularly high concentrations on  
the American continent. From the gold of the gods to gold fever, the  
exhibition takes a long look at this prized metal and the political  
and social contexts that surround it. In addition to its sociological,  
scientific, and geological aspects, the exhibition also emphasizes the  
artistic aspect of gold production, and features a group of superb  
works from well-known international collections, including those of  
the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Montreal and the Museo del Oro in Bogota.
