This exhibition is the first ever large-scale Japan retrospective of the Inca Empire, the last of the Andes civilizations and the largest one in South America, which flourished from the early 15th century up until the early 16th century. How did the Incas build monumental architectural structures without the use of a wheel or iron tools? What sort of leader was the "Sun King"? This exhibition hopes to provide answers to some of these questions. Of particular interest is a 530-inch theater that will allow visitors to have a virtual, 3D experience of the Macchu Picchu ruins.
