Enter the museum with heart ready to accept the past tragic overwhelming or almost cruel planned needless? annhiliation of Native Inhabitant "Indians" by the English colonialists.What remains alive today in form of creativity art cooking textiles books sentiments are very well honestly displayed here in many audio visual ways .If you are not moved Stand in Front of Sullys' Portrait and read about him .Nice that today's generations accept these facts and try heal the wounds .Salutes to Meads for sponsoring this free to visit museum in the Amherst College Campus.When here follow the Spire with chimes but no Chapel seen from far to locate this on top of a mound .
I was pretty astonished to see the Mesopotamian wall carving The reading room with the caven woodwork was also very interesting.
You can request they show you some of the other items they have in storage! I saw a horse figurine from 9th century BCE Greece!
