Pre-1600 art from Mesoamerica, the Isthmian Region, and South America’s Central Andes became a strong focus after World War II; the collection today includes approximately 900 objects and textiles that represent most of the major ancient cultures of Central and western South America. The representation of objects from Central America’s Isthmian Region, numbering over 200 works, was greatly strengthened by the addition of a group of important gold ornaments, primarily from the regions now called Colombia, Costa Rica, and Panama.
