CHANGING EXHIBITIONS

This exhibition brings to life the lost and forgotten technology and inventions that set the Roman Empire apart from the rest of the world and which continue to influence us to this day. By reconstructing ancient Roman technology using the same materials and techniques that the Romans used thousands of years ago we can learn so much that would not have been possible solely by studying archaeological finds and original texts.

A unique tree in a lush tropical environment. A seed so precious it was used as money. A spicy drink and a sweet snack. A heavenly craving and a sublime pleasure. Chocolate is all this… and much more. Explore the relationship between human culture and this rainforest treasure in Chocolate.

CHOCOLATE September 23, 2017 - January 7, 2018

ANCIENT ROME: AGE OF THE CAESARSFebruary 3 - July 3, 2018

Chocolate and its national tour were developed by The Field Museum, Chicago.

This exhibition was supported, in part, by the National Science Foundation.
