Is it the same that has been in the New York Museum of Natural History several years ago? Do they have a catalogue and would it be th same as the big one from NY? In other words, is it worth making a big jump there if I have the NY catalogue?
It does appear to me to be possibly the same exhibit ( which has been on world tour for a couple years now AMNH logo and it does does mention that AMNH and Field museum of CHicago collaberation.. (not exact translation but you get the Idea, My Mother in law would be very impressed I figured that much out.) it's on the bottom of the page that is why I think this.

Yes, there is a book that goes with this exhibit its called Pearls a Natural History. ISBN Number is 0-8109-4495-2, Its a wonderful book. Can be pricey.. Suggest looking for it on used book websites, I bought mine from one even thogut it was a brand new book for a fraction of the cost.

Go to the Exhibit if you can I missed it when it was in Toronto found out two days after it had left it was there!

After brousing the site maybe more stuff has been added? Not sure on that one.

Hope this helps
Cheers
Ash
