Smithsonian display Hopewell Adena artifacts? by bat400 on Tuesday, 13 October 2009

The National Museum of the American Indian doesn't focus on prehistoric cultures and artifacts as much as it looks at living, modern cultures and the contact era. However, there are Hopewell items in their collection. The items that were on display when I was there were presented in the context of groupings of items with common usage.
The question may be, will the Smithsonian borrow Hopewell artifacts from other museums for temporary display? Maybe some of the Davis collection now at the British Museum. Some of these are shown in Room 26 and some of which have never been on display.

Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
