In this building rediscover the marvel of what early humanity has accomplished and what it means for today and tomorrow. The mystery of why ancient people created these magnificient edifices, artifacts, statues, pictures, and wrote of wondrous thoughts and deeds will haunt us forever. And continuing into today, we have even bigger creations that stagger the imagination: Automobiles, airplanes, ships, the telephone, television, computers, the World Wide Web, and, perhaps, greatest of all ... we have walked on the surface of the moon.

What separates humankind from other animals is our need to know and understand the world around us and extract from it all it has to offer.
