Under African Skies: Journeys of the Past, Present & Future

October 5, 2008 - January 9, 2009

Did you know that 5 to 8 million years ago, Africa was the birthplace of the human species? It’s true! And this diverse culture bursts into life at Muzeo. Take a hands-on, heartfelt journey via interactive displays, three-dimensional settings and award-winning images of Africa’s people, lands and cultural history.

One Continent, Two Exhibitions.

Inside Africa.

Experience the culture and modern family life with your hands-on examination of African artifacts in four intriguing dimensions:

Families & Festivals — Step into realistic settings of African culture to discover the ways of life.

The Safari — Come face to face with African wildlife, including life-size animal skulls, a giant termite mound and interactive gorilla displays.

The Caravan — Surround yourself with hands-on and lifelike exhibits, featuring a Tuareg (semi-nomadic group) goatskin tent.

Diaspora — Follow the historic travels of African peoples to the Americas, including an elaboration of the transatlantic slave trade, and ultimately, Africa’s major influences on the U.S.

SUDAN, The Land and the People.

Extraordinary. Unforgettable. Moving. And that may be just the first photo and story you uncover. In all, 70 emotionally moving photographs and stories are showcased by award-winning photographer, Michael Freeman, and writers Timothy Carney (U.S. Ambassador) and Victoria Butler. Bordered by nine nations, Sudan holds the key to regional stability and prosperity. Yet, with the displacement of two million people, drought and famine, the area is in constant and monumental conflict. Every image delivers the extraordinary emotion captured during two years amidst the war-torn nation of Sudan. However, the power of the images and the stories may last with your forever.
