This tour will give attendees a behind the scenes look at the storage vaults where the archaeological treasures of the Americas held in the collections of the Library of Congress reside. Participants will experience first-hand the rare and important examples of Maya, Aztec, Taino, Inca, and Wari art and artifacts held by the library and get a look at some of the research taking place on these priceless pieces of cultural heritage.

Please note: The group will travel by Metro (fare card provided); the library is a 5-minute walk from the Capitol South station.
