Western Science Seeks Cultural Knowledge Baskets are important not only amongst the Cahuilla, but for Native peoples throughout the west and northwest regions of the United States.  It seems fitting, then, to focus the eyes of conservators on baskets and other items made from plant materials in the collections of the Agua Caliente Cultural Museum.  This exhibition demonstrates the kinds of discoveries that UCLA graduate conservation students made in the investigation and treatment of cultural objects and sandals in the Museum collections.
