The Embassy of the United States of America in conjunction with the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports is pleased to announce that the Sacred Legacy photo exhibit has been extended for another week due to popular demand.

Previously, the exhibit was to be showcased for two weeks from March 24.  However, thanks to overwhelming positive feedback and interest from the public, the exhibit has been extended to April 14th.

A companion exhibit of photographs by two local groups, the Photographic Society of Brunei and Photographers Association of Brunei is also on display alongside the Sacred Legacy exhibit.

Approximately 60 print photographs of Native Americans drawn from the work of famed ethnographer Edward Sheriff Curtis has been on display at the Brunei Museum since March 24th.  The work of Edward Curtis illustrates the broad diversity of North American Indian tribes. Taken from the last years of the 19th century until 1930, the spectacular images show Native American life and culture on the Great Plains, in the Southwest, and on the Northwest Coast, the Plateau and Alaska.
