Symposium—New Discoveries/New Directions in the Archaeology of the Ancient Americas at The MET

In celebration of the reopening of the galleries for the arts of the ancient Americas in The Michael C. Rockefeller Wing, explore the ways in which major new archaeological discoveries made in the years since 1982—the year the wing first opened—have shifted perspectives on the visual arts of the civilizations that thrived in Latin America prior to 1600 CE. Hear from scholars as they address not only the revolutionary new understandings precipitated by these discoveries, but also our moment now, and the big questions that remain for the study of the arts of the Mexica, Inca, Maya, and Moche, and the many other civilizations of the ancient Americas.
