Gold
October 22, 2010 – March 6, 2011

Gold – an enduring icon of wealth, beauty and power.  Immortalized in ancient mythology, it was the first metal worked by humans.  Medieval alchemists spent their lives in unwavering pursuit of the formula to transmute base metals into gold, considered to be the perfect metal.  Since the beginning of recorded history, the rise of influential societies has coincided with their ownership of this precious substance.
