Indiana Jones and the Adventure of Archaeology

I think this concept and mixture is just great!



OVERVIEW
Presented by National Geographic, and made possible by Lucasfilm Ltd., Indiana Jones and the Adventure of Archaeology is an innovative exhibition that immerses visitors in the science behind field archaeology.

As it leads viewers on a museum adventure inspired by their beloved film hero, Indiana Jones TM, the exhibition connects his fictional world to facts that are true to the science of archaeology – whether in the search for treasure, the discovery of artefacts, or their analysis and interpretation.

The Indiana Jones brand humour and adventurous spirit is infused throughout the exhibit to help engage viewers and stimulate their imaginations. Consequently, the exhibition holds broad appeal for all audiences: neophytes and experts, families, film fans, tourists and the general public alike.

Indi was my childhood hero, and was unquestionably part of the reason I ended up studying anthropology, ancient history, and archaeology! :)

He was my childhood hero, too.

I was livid that Spielberg and Lucas raped him.
