Visitors to Dickson Mounds Museum's more than 15,000 square feet
of exhibits discover many different ways of interpreting the
past, including innovative displays of artifacts, arts, and
archaeology; exciting hands-on activities; and multi-media
presentations. Reflections on Three Worlds reveals the world of
Mississippian people whose 800-year-old sites surround the
museum today. The exhibits depict the complex life and culture
of these people, trace in detail the evidence of archaeology,
and lead to a spectacular multimedia event that takes one
through a kaleidoscope of sights, sounds, symbols, music and
voices of the three worlds of Mississippian belief. Other
exhibits at Dickson Mounds include an interactive Discovery
Center; a Special Exhibits Gallery; the Eveland Village Site,
where the remains of three early Mississippian buildings are
preserved for viewing on the museum grounds; and an exhibit that
tells the story of the museum itself, History. Those wishing to
