The new exhibits are Manila Galleon which explores a trade that connected Asia to the Americas and Europe. For centuries, Spanish ships laden with porcelain, silk, spices, and other goods sailed annually across the Pacific from Manila to Acapulco, returning with millions of pieces of silver.   This special exhibit within the Museum is chargeable at $12.  A steep price for this exhibit as there are lots of artefacts and exhibits to see too.
