The Marjorie Barrick Museum offers opportunities to view reptiles native
to our region and learn about the native cultures of the southwest United
States and Mesoamerica. The exhibit hall also features a 2,500 square foot
temporary exhibit area which hosts international, national and regional
exhibitions.
Despite being North America's hottest and driest desert, the Mojave
is home to a diverse array of both plant and animal life.
From the survival arts of the Southern Paiute to the dramatic weaving
of the Navajo and beautiful carving of the Hopi, our exhibits help the
visitor to appreciate not only the beauty of objects but their personal
and spiritual value.
The objects included in Gods, Kings and Artisans of Ancient Mesoamerica,
Painted Vessels of the Maya Elite, Ceramics of Ancient West Mexico and
Figurines span over two thousand years.
