The Lost World of Old Europe: The Danube Valley, 5000 - 3500 BC features more than 250 objects from the remnants of Old Europe, a period of related prehistoric cultures that achieved a peak of sophistication and creativity long before Egypt or Mesopotamia and then mysteriously collapsed by 3500 BC. These goddess figures, jewelry, art, metal ornaments and weapons from museums in Romania, Bulgaria, and Moldova have never been featured in the United States despite the renown of artifacts like "The Thinker" - a strikingly modern male figure from Cernavoda, Romania. Continues through April 25th.
