Thanks to Thomas for sending me the pdf of
issue 64 spring 2014 of the SBR newsletter! Here's an excerpt from the announcement from Barbara Pringle: "On December 10, 2013, an enthusiastic group of scholars and bead enthusiasts attended the formal opening of Mightier than the Sword: The Allure, Beauty and Enduring Power of Beads (Figure 1). The exhibit features the two Timeline cases displaying beads from 3,000 to 800 BCE (Figures 2 and 3), along with displays showing recent related anthropological and archaeological research by Yale graduate students and faculty. The exhibit will be up indefinitely. It is hoped that, in future, additional Timeline panels can be added, with relevant archaeological or anthropological research featured to enhance them. Potential visitors and researchers should contact the Education Office of the Peabody Museum at 203-432-3775 or Peabody. education@yale.edu." This is wonderful news. Hopefully 2014 will be a great year for the permanent display of collections from the 2 bead museums in the U.S. that had to close - next due for permanently relocated public exhibit is The Bead Museum collection at the Mengei in San Diego.
