Discovering Rastafari!
The Smithsonian Natural History MuseumNovember 2, 2007 - November 7, 2008
Featuring rare photographs, artifacts, and ephemera, this exhibition moves beyond the popular Jamaican music known as reggae to explore the origins and practice of the Rastafari religion in Jamaica and the movement's subsequent spread across the Caribbean and around the world. Video footage featuring male and female Rastafari of different ages, nationalities, ethnicities, and socioeconomic classes highlights the unity of the movement. An overview of the three major "mansions" (organizations) reveals the diversity of Rastafari and the core of sacred practices that guide the daily lives of its practitioners.

To have such an interesting exhibit only run for 6 days is a travesty especially when there is so much interest in this movement of the people that has shaped the world from Iceland to Japan.
You are not the first one to make the oversight; but, if you check the post, the exhibit runs until Nov. '08. Thanks for visiting.
