Special Exhibit: Wari: Lords of the Ancient Andes Kimbell Art Museum June 16, 2013 - September 8, 20133333 Camp Bouie Boulevard
Ft Worth, TX 76107
Peru’s Wari culture produced
a society of such unprecedented complexity that many today regard it as South
America’s first empire. As a predecessor
of the Inca Empire, which fell to Spanish forces after 1532, the Wari had no
previous examples of expansionist states to draw upon and thus represent a
major development in Andean civilization.
In conjunction with the Kimbell’s exhibit of Wari art, see works by
Andean artisans from Wari’s ancient heartland at the museum’s gift shop.
