SMAC

Occupying a converted department store, this state-of-the-art museum is a brave attempt to celebrate all those crocks, bones and pieces of primitive jewelry found in the archaeology sections of history museums, which many visitors tend to overlook as they rush to admire treasures from later epochs. Here, the multimedia exhibition is organized as a journey through every cultural layer left by human civilization, with each seemingly unprepossessing object allowed to tell its fascinating story.
