Examine authentic, sharp-tipped spear points and hunting instruments made by Ice Age hunters as well as some of the oldest known art: delicate carvings and Paleolithic jewelry.  A host of immersive videos, giant tusks and massive animal models, touchable displays and fun hands-on experiences make this the area’s most outstanding fall-winter exhibition. This exhibition was created by The Field Museum, Chicago.
