'Maya: Hidden Worlds Revealed' Goes Beyond Anthropology into History & Culture
By Bonnie North & Audrey Nowakowski • Feb 22, 2018
 

The largest exhibition on the ancient Maya ever to be displayed in the United States is currently on view at the Milwaukee Public Museum. This pre-Columbian civilization flourished in what is now Central America, and had advanced mathematics, a complex written language, and sophisticated art and architecture.

However, Carter Lupton, the former curator of ancient history at the Public Museum, says the question the  Maya: Hidden Worlds Revealed exhibit hopes to answer is not only who were the Maya, but who are they - because they’re still around.
