The North Carolina Museum of Art's ancient American collection spans almost two millennia and seven countries—Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Peru—and embraces a wide variety of forms, media, and artistic styles. Collectively it provides historical breadth and depth to understand numerous aspects of cultural practices, such as spirituality, aesthetics, sports, rituals, and daily life. The Ancient American art collection presents a set of beautifully designed and crafted objects that in the Museum serves as a space for cultural heritage encounters.
