Extended Info
Opening August 28, 2009: Sense of Time: Incense has played such an important role in so many aspects of daily life in East Asia from the most ancient times, and formed part of so many functions, that it is not surprising that it was eventually utilized for time measurement. This exhibit will present numerous examples of East Asian "fire clocks" along with other cultural material presenting the significance of incense to Asian culture.
August 2009 - May 2010
Opened April 22, 2009: Time & Exploration: Earth, Sea & Space: The exhibit will include timepieces, navigational devices and other objects associated with exploration. We are particularly interested in objects associated with specific explorers or explorations. Institutions loaning objects for the exhibit include the National Air & Space Museum, American Philosophical Society Museum, the Mariners’ Museum, NASA and a number of private individuals.
April - December 2009
