The Program for the Art of the Ancient Americas at LACMA

The Program for the Art of the Ancient Americas at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art is happy to announce the launch of www.ancientamericas.org, a stand-alone website devoted to Pre-Columbian scholarship.

The Ancient Americas web initiative is a valuable resource grounded in the museum’s ongoing commitment to scholarship in this field. With the launch of this site, we hope to create links between past and present civilizations while cultivating a lively exchange of ideas about the art and diversity of Ancient American cultures.

The new site hosts collections, resources, and materials that will continue to develop alongside the Program. It also preserves the pioneering work that the Foundation for the Advancement of Mesoamerican Studies did with famsi.org, which we have maintained and hosted since 2011. 

What you see now is only the first step in our mission.
