United States. The exhibit invites you to uncover the rise and decline of this
majestic civilization — including its social, natural and spiritual realms —
through never-before-seen artifacts, hands-on activities, multimedia components
and re-created environments. You can experience a cross-section of Maya life,
from divine kings to the artisans and laborers who formed the backbone of their
society, as well as learn how the Maya people and their culture endure to this
day. To learn more, please visit http://www.mos.org/exhibits/maya. *Please let us know if you are a member of the Museum of Science
