The authors show how this powerful cosmology informed some of the greatest creative achievements of Maya civilization, represented here from the monumental to the miniature through more than 140 works in jade, stone, and clay. Thematic chapters supported by new scholarship on recent archaeological discoveries detail the different types of gods and their domains, the role of the divine in the lives of the ancient Maya, and the continuation of these traditions from the colonial period through the present day. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Published by The Metropolitan Museum of Art\/Distributed by Yale University Press \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (November 21, 2022-April 2, 2023) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eKimbell Art Museum, Fort Worth, TX\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (May 7-September 3, 2023)\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoanne Pillsbury \u003c\/b\u003eis Andrall E.
