The Shanghai Museum has opened its exhibition “On Top of the World Tree: Ancient Civilizations of the Americas” to the public on July 17, 2026. The museum describes it as the largest exhibition ever dedicated to the ancient civilizations of the Americas. According to the announcement, the exhibition brings together 1,129 groups of artifacts or related items, presenting material from multiple ancient cultures across the Americas. The release characterizes the show as focusing on works at “their peak,” highlighting major achievements and artistic or cultural developments from these historical societies. The announcement also frames the exhibition as a major event for visitors, positioning it as a large-scale, museum-wide presentation centered on ancient transcontinental American civilizations rather than a single region or time period. Details beyond the opening and scope—such as participating institutions, loan sources, dates, or specific collections—are not included in the provided text. The exhibition is now officially accessible to the public at the Shanghai Museum.
