Creating an archaeology exhibit dedicated to Indiana Jones seems like a no-brainer. Thankfully, the folks over at LucasFilm agree. In partnership with the Montreal Science Center, they have created the Indiana Jones and the Adventure of Archaeology. Featuring a mix of real artifacts and famous props from the film, Indy fans will be able to get a firsthand look into the world of an archaeologist.

Included in the exhibit are the Ark of the Covenant from 'Raiders of the Lost Ark,' the Sankara Stones from 'Temple of Doom' and the Holy Grail from 'The Last Crusade.' Geneviève Angio-Morneau, who helped organize the project, had this to say about it:
One of the main ideas was to have an exhibition that would focus, yes, on the artifacts and the props and the costumes and the artwork from the Lucasfilm Archive, but also to have real artifacts .... We might be coming across visitors [making] their first contact with real archaeological objects, so doing an exhibition about archaeology, this was a really important part of the concept for the exhibition. It was also one of the biggest challenges to have these two completely different collections living in the same space, so when we designed the exhibition, we made sure that these objects were in separate actual spaces. We designed the exhibition as kind of a mirror effect.
