One hundred years after the 1909 Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition (A-Y-P), the Burke Museum has organized A-Y-P: Indigenous Voices Reply, an exhibit that will juxtapose historic objects and photographs from the 1909 fair with contemporary artwork by 16 Native artists to explore how the representation and understanding of indigenous people and cultures has changed over 100 years.

Coffee is one of the world's most widely traded commodities, and has had a tremendous impact not only on the local economy and character of the Pacific Northwest, but also on cultures, economies, and environments across the globe. This exhibit explores the fascinating world behind the coffee we drink.

This exhibit features materials from the Solomon islands collected by Walter J. Eyerdam. In the late 1920s, Mr. Eyerdam was hired as an ornithologist for the American Museum of Natural History's Whitney South Seas Expedition. At the time Eyerdam visited the Solomon islands in the 1920s, the materials he collected were still made for use rather than sale. Eyerdam's grandsons, Jeff and Michael Homchick, donated the materials to the Burke Museum.
