The Michael C. Carlos Museum is one of the best-kept secrets of great museum collections, although it did gain some fame recently for returning an important pharaonic mummy to Egypt. The collection is housed at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. It has 5 main galleries of ancient artifacts which I have photographed and placed into [...]

This is another great world museum dealing mostly with ancient Mesoamerica: Olmec, Teotihuacan, Maya, Mexica (Aztec), and others. The Maya wing was closed when I was there. Rats!

This is one of the greatest museums of the world. The several times I visited there were before I got the idea to make a serious photographic record of historic artifacts, so this album scarcely does the BM justice. Check out their own website.
