The Beach Museum of Art launched its new exhibition, 45 Paleolithic Handaxes from Transfigurations: Reanimating the Past by David Lebrun on Sept. 21. Visitors can expect to learn about the art through a multimedia installation. This exhibition allows viewers to explore the past in a new light through unique sequenced images, sounds and video.
This exhibition showcases ancient Mesoamerica. Visitors can learn how Lebrun worked with archaeologists and anthropologists to identify human-made objects as early as 600,000 years ago from Mesoamerica, Europe and South Asia.
“Though the actual stone artifacts from archaeological sites in France will not be onsite, they will be accessible in a powerful way through a combination of high-resolution photography, animation, use of scale and an evocative sound score,” Linda Duke, Beach art museum director, said.

The museum originally planned to have a larger exhibition of Lebrun’s work, but because of the pandemic, it was unable. The second installation of Lebrun’s work will be on display next fall, featuring another ancient object and a special sound environment. The 45 Paleolithic Handaxes exhibition will be on display through July 16, 2022.
The museum offers free admission and parking for all, with regular hours from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday; 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursday and 11 a.m to 4 p.m. on Saturday.
