The American Anthropological Association's exhibit "Race: Are We So
Different?" (a traveling show now on view at the National Museum of Natural
History) is a good example of an exhibit rooted in current scholarship that
is also accessible, informative and engaging to a wide range of visitors
from grade schoolers on up. There is a website that accompanies it.
