With more than 250 artifacts, a new exhibit at the Natural History Museum of Utah shows the culture of the Maya through immersive environments and activities.
The Classic Maya civilization, A.D. 250 to 900, has drawn popular and scientific interest since the modern discovery of ruined cities in the jungles of Central America in 1839, according to the Science Museum of Minnesota, one of the creators of the traveling exhibit.
Maya: Hidden Worlds Revealed has nine sections, exploring the art, science, beliefs and daily life of the Maya, the story of their descendants today and what researchers are still learning about the culture.
