Ruth Leon recommends… Arts of the Ancient Americas – Exhibition Tour

Here’s a tour of the new exhibition at the Met, Arts of the Ancient Americas.

These artworks reveal histories of the exchange of materials and ideas across vast distances and millennia and provide a deeper understanding of the practices and beliefs of the civilizations that thrived in Latin America before 1600.

The exhibition includes learning about the enduring tradition of the Mesoamerican ballgame, new findings on the role of women of power, and an extraordinary technology developed by Moche metalsmiths.

Reflecting new perspectives and recent advances in scholarship, this extraordinary collection reintroduces a new generation of visitors to the ancestral arts of the Americas. The exhibition celebrates the reopening of the Arts of the Ancient Americas galleries.

Insights are provided by curators Joanne Pillsbury, Laura Filloy Nadal, Andrall E. Pearson of Ancient American Art, Max Hollein, and special guest Alejandro de Avila.
