“The complexities of curating such a large and high-profile exhibition are many,” Peter Elsaesser, Museums Partner CEO, shared. “Negotiations to bring together and tour priceless cultural artifacts often take years.

This exhibit offers audiences all over the midwest a truly historic opportunity to experience the fascinating and mysterious story of the Maya and their enduring contributions to our modern world.
“Who knows if this chance will ever come around again.” Elsaesser added.
