“The Magic of Things: 5 Continents, 25 Centuries, 125 Years of Collecting” celebrates the museum begun at Bethel College in 1896.

The exhibition includes a ngoma drum from a Zimbabwean healer and a 1914 Indian motorcycle, a Mesopotamian cuneiform tablet from 524 BCE and a Macintosh computer from 1986, a Red-sided Eclectus Parrot from New Guinea and a horse-drawn hearse from a Goessel, Kansas, funeral home.
