Art a Fact Museum: Introduction

by Nanda Armatys, Cedar Rapids

You will research three ancient, meso and South american civilizations and reveal how their art, architecture, and artifacts represent or depict the culture and way of life, or traditions of the meso and South american people. Finally, you will become a part time curator and create an exhibit for a famous museum.

Introduction

The Cedar Rapids Tigers have been asked by Thaddeus Gilabest, the head curator of the Art a Fact Museum, to create three exhibits to be shown as a triduum next month about ancient Central and South American art. Mr. Gilabest is expecting you to put together a spectacular display of the Maya, Aztecan and Inca art, architecture, and artifacts that will dazzle and educate the public. So, don your curator's hat and start digging!
