The Mary Hemenway Collection from the ruined pueblos of Arizona and New Mexico has been arranged and labelled with great care and is now on exhibition in the Peabody Museum. It is the result of excavations, from 1887 to 1889, by Mr. Frank H. Cushing, who was in charge of the archaeological and ethnological expedition, organized by Mrs. Mary Hemenway, and sent to New Mexico and Arizona ten years ago. This collection includes jars, utensils, weapons, pigments, ornaments, etc., and photographs of the scenes of excavation; it is exceptionally complete and will be of great service to any one who is studying the culture of the pre-historic people of the Southwest.
A year ago the hall containing the Mary Hemenway collection from the Moki Pueblos of Arizona, which consists of a large number of more modern specimens, was opened in the same building; paintings and drawings add to its value. These two well arranged collections taken together cover a long period of the history of the Pueblo tribes and can not fail to be most useful to the student of the Pueblos and Cliff-Dwellings.
The museum is now open from 9 a. m. until 5 p. m. on week days.
