New exhibit at the Field Museum

A new photography exhibit at the Field Museum called Sacred Waters: India's Great Kumbha Mela Pilgrimage opened on March 6 and is running until July 19, 2009. Photographer Jean-Marc Giboux followed Hindu pilgrims as they undertook the largest gathering of humans on earth. The Kumbha Mela Pilgramage happens four times every twelve years and rotates amongst four locations across India- Allahabad, Haridwar, Ujjain, and Nashik. The exhibit is located in the Marac Gallery on the upper level of the Field Museum and promises to be very interesting. Giboux is originally from Paris but currently resides in Chicago.
