Hall of the Peoples of the Pacific opens at American Museum
Margaret Mead helped inspire a dream that becomes reality as the American Museum of Natural History finalizes the Hall of the Peoples of the Pacific. After 11 years and over 1 million dollars, a 154 foot long hall with 9200 square feet is staged on Central Park West for a May 19 unveiling. The exhibit spans Indonesia to Micronesia with dioramas, sound effects, and artifacts gathered from missions explorers and anthropologists.
