Closing at MIA is a traveling exhibit from the Louvre — photography wasn’t permitted there, but I did take pictures of other exhibits to share. The first two images are from iAfrica, an interactive exhibit of African culture. You can also download an iPhone app with images from this exhibit, including a playable thumb piano! The remaining images are Native American. Check out the quillwork on the eagle bag and the fur-rimmed moccasins.
