Storied Walls presents an array of ancient murals from North, Central, and South America which illustrate the once preeminent religious, political, and cultural beliefs of those areas. The exhibition employs photographs and drawings from archaeologists and artists alongside models and mural fragments to explore this cultural art form, as most of the original murals remain in situ. Among the cultures represented in the exhibit are the Hopi, the Moche, and the ancient Maya, whereof the oldest Maya murals are also the most recently discovered.
