The Americas
The continents of North and South America exhibit every variety of climate and flora and fauna which exists. Millions of people of different cultures inhabit these great continents from the Inuit of the frozen Arctic to the Indians dwelling in Patagonia on the southernmost tip of South America. The artefacts of many of these different peoples are represented in the collection.
