Until 2024 the artifacts and art pieces in the photo galleries below were once part of the 'Modern Era' of the Civilization Collection. The so-called modern exhibits ranged through 'Limited Edition' artworks, watches, rare and first edition books and a broad range of memorabilia. In acquiring an exhibit for the collection each piece was selected for its representation of a style, time, object or artist. Some exhibits are historical spanning a period from the year 1568 with most other objet d'art pieces being between 100 and 40 years old.
