The Amazonian rainforest is home to approximately 200 Indian tribes, whose members are among the last people of the New World to retain their pre-conquest culture. Spotlighting eight of these groups, "Vanishing Worlds" celebrates ceremonies and rites of passage unique to these people. Included are regalia headdresses, costumes, decorations, furniture, and ceramics. Catalogue available. Organized by the Houston Museum of Natural Science, Houston. Docents offer free tours of the exhibition Thursdays at 12:15 pm, Saturdays and Sundays at 2 pm
