Totems to Turquoise All Day - Natural History Museum
-
Jewelry from two very different geographic regions, the American Southwest and the Pacific coastline of Canada and Alaska, draws on forms and materials that date back many centuries. It expresses both the innovative artistry of Native American jewelry makers and the remarkable continuity and vitality of the cultures to which they belong. The heart of the Totems to Turquoise: Native North American Jewelry Arts of the Northwest and Southwest exhibition consists of extraordinary objects, many of which were made by artists at work today.
