Maya
The Exhibition
at the Cincinnati Museum Center
Did you know that the Mayans...
were accomplished astronomers?
are credited with discovering the number zero?
developed their own glyph writing system?
were accomplished artists?
loved playing sports on special courts with rubber balls?

Join your YM friends and travel to a different world in a different time!
Appearing for the first time in the United States, this immersive exhibit garnered excellent reviews when it debuted at the Royal BC Museum last summer. Special group rates available through the Cincinnati Area Mensa Gifted Youth Program will allow us to tour with our friends as we learn about this ancient civilization of "astronomers, mathematicians, inventors and gods" and experience over 300 artifacts.
