Extremely rare and prized above all
other metals, gold has long been a symbol of wealth and status. In this
dazzling exhibition, which contains more than 2,000 pounds of the
"shiny stuff," walk into an entire room covered in just three ounces of
gold, see recovered sunken treasure, and climb onto a scale that tells
you your weight in gold. Trace the history, properties, and origins of this highly coveted
substance in all its glorious forms, from coins to nuggets to jewelry
to ore. And see why civilizations since the dawn of time have sought
this precious metal, one that still hasn't lost its luster.
