About this event

Discover the enduring worldviews of ancient Andean civilizations through nearly 100 exquisite pre-Columbian ceramic, textile, bone, and wood works. This exhibition features belongings dating back more than 2,500 years, highlighting the holistic spiritual understanding of the universe. Visitors can reflect on 'Tupananchiskama,' a Quechua concept meaning 'until life brings us together again.' The pieces embody relationships between humans, ancestors, and sacred forces in the Andean cosmovision. It is a rare chance to explore these complex cultural traditions from the Sawyer collection.
